This limited batch of Alocasia sarawakensis 'Yucatan Princess' is showing consistent mottling, best viewed from the undersides of foliage. 

Commonly referred to as an Elephant Ear for the shape of the foliage. Under optimal conditions 'Yucatan Princess' can get between 4-8'. Its puckered leaves are a glossy gray-green with maroon to chocolate brown undersides and stems. Grows best in full to part shade, keep soil consistently moist.

~Do Not let Alocasia sit in excess water. Alocasia are prone to rot if left with “wet feet”. Once watered, make sure to drain any extra water.

~Do Not place in full sun. Though some larger varieties can be acclimated to full sun, our Alocasia have been grown under shaded, greenhouse conditions.

~Alocasia are rhizomatous, meaning as they grow they will produce offshoots on short stems at or below the soil line. If you see bulb-like balls [known as corms] in the pot, Do Not remove them as these will grow to become new Alocasia!
