Alocasia Low Rider
Alocasia Low Rider is a radiant, tropical foliage plant, with a compact habit. This evergreen has glossy, bright green, heart-shaped leaves with wavy leaf edges. Due to its compactness A. Low Rider makes for a great houseplant. Alocasia is native to the tropical and temperate parts of South East Asia, where it grows as an herbaceous perennial in the shady, humid understorey layers of rainforests. As a houseplant with shiny, large leaves on sturdy stems, Alocasia Low Rider is a true eyecatcher. Alocasia is commonly known as Chinese Taro, Buddha’s hand or Elephant’s Ears. Other internationally used common names for Alocasia are: Chinese ape; Dwarf elephant’s ear; jian wei yu; boga kachu; mukhi-kochu; panchamukhi kochu.
