Alocasia Tiny Dancer

A newly developed hybrid, the Alocasia tiny dancer looks like something straight out of a Dr. Suess book. Characterized by curved stems and pointy, cup-shaped leaves, the Tiny Dancer is unique compared to other plants in the genus and was named the “most unusual aroid” by the International Aroid Society in 2013. It's a great choice if you're looking for a small, compact plant to add to your collection. This Alocasia reaches just 14 to 20 inches tall at maturity.

Caring for the Alocasia tiny dancer is similar to many other Alocasias, This tropical plant appreciates consistent moisture, warm temperatures, and lots of light.

Light: Although the Alocasia tiny dancer enjoys lots of light, it does not tolerate harsh, direct sunlight which can burn the foliage. It prefers the filtered or indirect light of its natural environment. You can try filtering the direct light with a sheer curtain or window film to protect the delicate leaves. 

Watering: Water regularly so to keep the soil consistently moist. This plant won't tolerate soggy soil, so you need to find a balance between consistent watering and overwatering. Use a pot with drainage holes so that excess water can drain during each watering. In the summer, you may need to water this plant once or twice a week, while in the winter you can reduce watering significantly.
