Alocasia Platinum 14cm

🪙 Alocasia Platinum

Silvery. Sculptural. Seriously rare.

With its heart-shaped leaves and metallic sheen, Alocasia Platinum looks like it was forged in moonlight. The foliage flashes silver-grey to cool blue-green depending on the light, with bold veining and a smooth, almost liquid texture. A true statement piece for modern plant stylists.
