Alocasia 'Scalprum'

🔥⚔️ Alocasia ‘Scalprum’ (al-oh-KAY-sha “Scal-prum”) ⚔️🔥

Also known as: Alocasia scalprum, “Samar Lance”, Alocasia Samar Lance.

Scalprum stuns with long, lance-shaped leaves with deeply embossed veins that catch light like subtle ripples. The foliage starts lighter green and darkens toward emerald or nearly black edges; stems often tinted maroon. Its texture is more rigid and architectural than lush—serious plant-fashion energy.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light; very bright but filtered is best to maintain sheen.
💧 Water – Keep soil moist but not soggy; allow the top inch to dry between waterings. Can perform well in a semi-hydro setup with good drainage.
🌡️ Humidity – Likes high humidity (60 % or more) and warmth (around 65-80°F / 18-27°C); avoid cold drafts.
🌱 Growth – Leaves reach around 10-12 inches long; plant stays relatively compact compared to giant alocasias, but new leaves emerge quickly once established.

📊 Difficulty: Intermediate-High (needs consistency and attention, especially with light & moisture).
🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested (can cause irritation of mouth, swelling, stomach upset). All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
The ridged veins of Scalprum throw off a stunning blue sheen in bright indirect light—rotate occasionally so they all get their moment shining.
