Alocasia Hilo Beauty

Botanical Name: Caladium praetermissum

Common Name(s): Hilo Beauty, Camouflage Alocasia, Hilo Beauty Elephant Ear, Caladium Hilo Beauty

The Alocasia Hilo Beauty is a striking tropical plant known for its bold, camouflage-like foliage. Though often mistaken for an Alocasia, it's believed by some botanists to be more closely related to the Caladium species. Native to Southeast Asia and popular among collectors, this plant is prized for its large, heart-shaped leaves splashed with dramatic patterns of green, chartreuse, and deep emerald — creating an effect that resembles jungle camouflage.

Reaching up to 3-4 feet in height under ideal conditions, the Hilo Beauty adds a vibrant, exotic touch to indoor or patio spaces. Its upright, clumping growth habit and vibrant coloration make it a statement plant in any collection.

To care for the Alocasia Hilo Beauty, place it in bright, indirect light to encourage strong variegation and healthy growth. It prefers high humidity and evenly moist, well-draining soil. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or become waterlogged. Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 65-85°F (18-29°C), and shield it from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Note: Like many Alocasia, the Hilo Beauty is toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and children.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Wipe leaves regularly: The stunning  variegated leaves of this Alocasia are prone to dust, so regularly wipe them with a damp cloth. 
  2. Monitor for pests: Keep an eye out for spider mites, aphids, or mealybugs. If you spot any pests, treat the plant with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
  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. Use a Humidifier: This Alocasia thrives best in a very humid environment so having a humidifier or humidity tray is ideal.

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.
