History of the Alocasia Melo
The Alocasia Melo is a rare and particularly fascinating houseplant from the arum family (Araceae). It originally comes from the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, in particular the Philippines. This alocasia is especially striking for its thick, leathery leaves with a textured, almost stone-like surface. Its extraordinary look makes it a sought-after collector's plant among lovers of exotic houseplants.
Care as a houseplant:
- Light: Bright spot with plenty of indirect light; avoid direct sun, as it can damage the leaves.
- Temperature: Ideally 20–30 °C; should not drop below 18 °C.
- Humidity: High humidity (60–80 %) is important for healthy growth.
- Substrate: Free-draining mix of potting soil, perlite and a little bark for a loose structure.
- Watering: Water moderately; keep the substrate slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging.
- Feeding: Feed every 4 weeks with a weak liquid fertiliser for foliage plants.
- Special features: The Alocasia Melo stores water in its thick leaves and therefore needs a little less moisture than other Alocasia species.
Care as a terrarium plant:
- Light: Bright, indirect light or artificial lighting is ideal.
- Temperature: 22–28 °C, not below 18 °C at night.
- Humidity: High humidity (70–90 %) is beneficial.
- Substrate: Free-draining, moisture-retaining substrate with good drainage.
- Watering: Keep evenly moist without risking waterlogging.
- Terrarium conditions: Thanks to its preference for warm, humid environments, the Alocasia Melo is ideal for tropical terrariums.
Overwintering tips:
The temperature should not drop below 18 °C, and watering should be reduced to avoid root rot. As a special houseplant with a unique leaf shape, the Alocasia Melo is a valuable addition to any collection.
