Alocasia Scalpum

Botanical Name: Alocasia Scalpum, Samar Lance

Common Name(s): Scalpum Alocasia, Elephant Ear, Jewel Alocasia

The Alocasia Scalpum is an eye-catching houseplant admired for its striking, textured leaves. Native to Southeast Asia, this beauty features large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves that are dark green with prominent silver veins running through them. The leaves have a unique, almost sculptural texture that adds to the plant’s dramatic appeal. Its striking appearance makes it a perfect statement piece, adding sophistication and intrigue to any indoor space.

To ensure your Alocasia Scalpum thrives, place it in bright, indirect light, as direct sunlight can damage its delicate leaves. It’s important to avoid overwatering, as this plant is prone to root rot; let the soil dry out slightly between waterings. The Alocasia Scalpum enjoys high humidity, so maintaining a warm, humid environment—ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C)—will help it flourish. Regular misting or a humidifier can also benefit the plant, especially in drier conditions.

Note: The Alocasia Scalpum is toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and children for safety.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Wipe leaves regularly: The large glossy leaves of this plant are prone to dust, so regularly wipe them with a damp cloth.
  2. Ideal growth for small spaces: This Alocasia tends to be more compact and slow-growing, making it an ideal for smaller spaces
  3. Repot every 1-2 years: This prefers to be slightly root-bound, so only repot every 1-2 years, or when you notice the roots outgrowing the pot
  4. Toxic if ingested: Like other Alocasias, this jewel Alocasia is toxic to pets and humans if ingested.

FAQs

Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

Due to the perishable nature of plants, we do not accept returns based on personal preference. Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee. Refunds will be processed to the card or account used for your purchase and will typically be available in your bank in 3-5 business days from the date it was issued.

Can I order and receive plants during the winter?

Yes, we ship plants year-round! Our shipments are carefully packaged to ensure we deliver healthy plants to your door every day of the year. We monitor the weather across the country and will include heat packs at no extra charge to keep your plants warm during shipping. If weather conditions are extreme (e.g., storm or severe winter), we will inform you of an updated delivery date that we believe is more appropriate.

How can I change my order details?

To update your order details, please contact us within 24 hours of placing your order. We care about all our customers and will like to ship the correct item to the right location. We are not held responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses. In addition, we cannot cancel orders that has already been shipped.

If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

Items apart of the same order typically ship together. In rare circumstances, the items may ship from both our Southern California and Florida greenhouses and could arrive in separate packages at different times. For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship to the contiguous United States which consists of the 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?

Unfortunately, we do not offer same-day or next-day delivery. Plants require careful preparation and packaging to ensure they arrive healthy and in optimal condition, we take the necessary time to pack them properly. This ensures that your plants are shipped safely and arrive ready to thrive.
