Alocasia 'Hilo Beauty'

 🔥🌿 Alocasia ‘Hilo Beauty’ (Al-oh-KAY-sha HY-loh BYOO-tee) 🌿🔥

Also known as: Caladium praetermissum ‘Hilo Beauty’, Alocasia ‘Hilo Beauty’, Camouflage Caladium.

Though often sold as an Alocasia, Hilo Beauty is actually a rare Caladium—an undercover gem with bold camouflage leaves splashed in lime, olive, and emerald. Its foliage feels smooth and slightly leathery, almost like living canvas, while tall speckled stems give it a sculptural, tropical presence.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Medium to bright, indirect light; avoid harsh sun that fades the variegation.
💧 Water – Keep soil evenly moist; allow the top layer to dry slightly before watering again. Can do well in semi-hydro set up.
🌡️ Humidity – Thrives in warmth and high humidity; keep above 65°F and away from drafts.
🌱 Growth – Can grow 2–3 feet tall with long, elegant stems and broad patterned leaves.

📊 Difficulty: Intermediate (needs consistency with moisture and humidity).
🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested (can cause oral irritation and stomach upset). All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
Each Hilo Beauty leaf is one-of-a-kind—no two patterns are ever identical, making every plant feel like a custom piece of nature’s art.
