Variegated Alocasia help

5 years ago

Hello! Can someone give me more precise information about the sizes of the variegated Alocasia Microrrhiza and variegated Alocasia Odora? I thought both of them could grow upwards of 3 feet, but then I saw an Alocasia Odora that was listed as "dwarf" and didn't know that existed. I haven't been able to find any info on a "dwarf" at all online and all the info I've seen say the Odora can grow more than 3 feet. Can anyone give me any clarification on this? Maybe it was listed as "dwarf" because it doesn't grow as large as a lot of the elephant ear alocasias can?


I'm wondering because I'd like to purchase one of the two, and am looking for a larger plant, but I prefer the rounder leaf shape of the Odora. I know the Microrrhiza can definitely grow very large, but am not as fond of its more elongated arrow-like leaf shape. Since these plants can get expensive, I want to make sure I'm getting the one I want


Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge!
