Alocasia Longiloba Lava Corms

Where the longiloba lineage meets fire.

This listing is for a dormant corm of Alocasia longiloba 'Lava' — a cultivar distinguished by its warm, volcanic colour expression across the characteristic arrow-shaped longiloba foliage. You will receive one corm selected by our grower from the mother plant shown in the product photos. The mother plant is shown for reference and is not for sale.

The Lava expression introduces warm red-to-orange tonal variegation across the longiloba leaf — a departure from the cooler, more restrained expressions typical of the species. The effect is geological: deep, layered, and more compelling in person than in photographs. Colour intensity develops with maturity and light.

Light — 80–180 PPFD at leaf level; bright indirect, controlled
