Alocasia 'Tiny Dancers'
Tiny Dancers elephant ear
Small upright leaves on slender, arching stems give Tiny Dancers a lively, delicate silhouette. Unlike broad-leaved elephant ears, its airy shape suits close-up viewing in a bright room. Warm conditions, filtered light and steady moisture support healthy foliage.
