Alocasia Heart Balloon
Soft curves, velvet texture and that unmistakable inflated shape — Alocasia ‘Heart Balloon’ brings a charming twist to the classic jewel Alocasia look. Its dark, almost black-green leaves arch gently like little heart-shaped sculptures, catching light along their pronounced silver veins.
Perfect for a spot that needs a dose of softness and texture, this compact grower is a must for collectors of rarer foliage. It thrives with warmth, consistency, and just a little patience — the results are worth it.
