Alocasia Jacklyn
Alocasia tandurusa 'Jacklyn'
A striking species from Sulawesi, Indonesia — relatively recently introduced to cultivation and quickly established as a collector favorite for its dramatic, architecturally distinct foliage. The leaves are upright, arrow-shaped, and deeply sinuate with strongly lobed margins, dark green with conspicuously bleeding dark veins, carried on distinctive fuzzy, purple-striped petioles. Sometimes traded under the name Alocasia sulawesi. Subject to the dormancy behavior typical of the genus, recovering reliably when conditions improve.
-
Light: Bright indirect light maintains the deepest leaf coloration and most vigorous growth; avoid direct sun which scorches the foliage.
-
Soil: Well-draining aroid mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir; as a rhizomatous alocasia it is highly susceptible to root rot — excellent drainage is non-negotiable.
-
Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 65-80°F; cool temperatures below 60°F trigger dormancy. Humidity of 60-80% supports the best growth and cleanest leaf emergence.
-
Watering: Allow the top 1-2" to dry between waterings; keep lightly moist but never soggy. Overwatering is the primary cultivation failure with this species.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 weeks during active growth; reduce or stop during dormancy.

Extremely well packaged. So pretty and bigger than I expected. Thank you!
She is absolutely gorgeous!! Packages so well that she was completely unharmed and never went into any shock. She even has a new baby growing! I love her!
Very happy with my purchase the packaging was perfect
Unboxing plant looks very healthy and loved. It came in a 4 inc potter wrapped thoughtfully. It also had instructions for plant care as well as directors for a more in depth instructions which I love
Absolutely stunning plant!!! I love this Jacklyn so much! The tall stems are really sturdy and the leaf texture is amazing! She immediately earned a spot within my favorites (and I have a lot of plants)! She arrived on time, was packaged extremely well in a cloud of “fluff” and even though one corner of the box was crushed (shipper’s fault), this beauty survived the shipping process in pristine condition! Not a single blemish. Thank you!!!
Packed well and plant is in good condition.
My arrived on time. Beautiful, thank you!
Perfectly shipped. Excellent health. Beautiful plant.
Nice plant. Arrived in great shape. Packed very well. No complaints! Very healthy!
One of my favorite new plants!
I just unboxed this beauty! She arrived in great shape despite a heat advisory for my region. She appears to be pest-free, and is really just lovely. I’m very pleased and will most definitely order again.
Exactly what I ordered. Happy and healthy plant
Beautiful!
The plant was perky, healthy and happy! It was well packaged. The soil was moist and not sopping wet, like others I’ve received from other companies. I’m very happy with the quality and the size and even more happy to add this baby to my collection!
As I mentioned before, this seller offers great plants just wish they used a mote sustainable padding in side the packaging to protect the plant. It’s this synthetic cotton like plastic material. The plant is doing great though!
She arrived in great condition, just one very small yellow leaf!
Plant came healthy and well packaged, has little babies on it , I'm just in ❤️
Beautiful plant! Thank you so much!
