The Exotic "Samurai Sword" Alocasia Scalprum is named for its long, narrow, blade-like leaves that resemble a samurai's sword. Its glossy, dark green foliage with subtly rippled edges and a dramatic upright growth habit make it a standout in any tropical collection.
Care Guide
Light: Bright, indirect light (tolerates medium light, but may stretch if too dim).
Water: Keep evenly moist (but not soggy); allow top 1–2 inches to dry slightly between waterings.
Soil: Well-draining, aerated mix (potting soil + perlite + orchid bark).
Humidity: 60%+ ideal (brown tips signal dry air—use a pebble tray or humidifier).
Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); avoid cold drafts below 60°F (15°C).
Fertilizer: Monthly with balanced liquid fertilizer during growing season (spring/summer).
Growth: Moderate—forms a compact clump over time.
Special Notes:
-
Toxic if ingested (like all Alocasias—keep away from pets/children).
-
Dormancy possible in winter (leaves may yellow/die back—reduce watering until spring).
-
Less fussy than other Alocasias but still thrives with consistent care.
Pro Tip:
Rotate regularly to encourage even growth. If leaves droop, check for overwatering or pests (spider mites love Alocasias!).
Customer Reviews
GORGEOUS!! Much fuller than I anticipated and all of their plants are so healthy!! 10/10
Beautiful! My plant had a bunch of leaves and came with no damage!
Everything arrived in great condition, the anthurium luxurians was even blooming and pushing out a new leaf when I received it. Leaves are bigger than my head! Seller reminded me to add a heat pack, and I’m glad they did!
Beautiful plant! Thank you for fixing the little misunderstanding.
My new scalprum showed up and its adorable and perfectly packaged !
