Young fronds are usually late arriving, are rosy-pink with the mature fronds turning bronzy green. The fronds are branched with fan-shaped pinnules with a rough texture.

These leaves, which often number in the 100’s, cascade from the center of the plant forming a dense rounded rosette to 2 – 3′ tall by as wide. When plants mature they will initiate flowers which are formed in pairs on an unbranched spike that rises 8 to 10 feet. Plant in full sun along coast and part sun to light shade in hot inland gardens. Drought resistant, but looks better with some summer watering. Hardy to 25 F.
  • Alocasia ‘Portora’ (5 gallon pots) a hybrid of A. odora, which is similar to A. macrorrhizos and A. portei, a deeply cut, spidery-leaved species, this is often listed as A. portidora. This has very broadly, coarsely toothed, glossy, dark green leaves with wavy margins, quite arrow shaped in outline and held vertically to slightly angled but never even relaxing to horizontal. Its veins are thick and ropy and quite attractive. It gets a short trunk to over 4″ thick within a year of planting. To 6′ tall, it is a robust, easy landscape form, hardy outdoors to USDA zone 8.
