Alocasia cucullata

Alocasia cucullata is an upright Alocasia with glossy green leaves and a clumping base. Mature plants can develop several shoots from the base.

Alocasia cucullata can reach around 65 cm tall. Indoors, size depends on light, warmth, pot size and age. The leaves are smooth, rounded and slightly cupped, with a soft hooded look.

Leaf shape and growth

The leaves are broad and heart-shaped with a gentle curve. Stems grow upright from the base, and older plants can form several shoots.

New leaves emerge upright, then settle into position as they mature. The glossy surface shows dust, water marks and pest damage quickly, so regular leaf checks are useful.

  • Glossy, rounded leaves with a soft curve
  • Upright, clumping growth
  • Upright habit that broadens with age
  • Can reach around 100 cm tall
  • Glossy green leaves on upright petioles

Origin and growing conditions

This species comes from a wide range across Asia, from Sri Lanka and the Himalaya to southern China and Indo-China. It grows in warm, humid conditions and is widely cultivated.

Indoors, it prefers steady warmth, filtered light and even moisture. The roots need air as well as water, so the mix should drain well from top to bottom.

Water and light

  • Light: Bright, indirect light or soft morning sun
  • Watering: Water thoroughly, then let excess drain
  • Substrate: Loose mix that stays lightly moist and drains freely
  • Temperature: Keep above 18 °C; grows best in warm conditions
  • Humidity: Around 50–70% is usually enough for steady leaf opening
  • Feeding: Light, regular feeding during active growth
  • Pot choice: Use a stable pot with drainage
  • Mineral substrates: Can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if the change is gradual

Pot size and moisture

Keeping the pot close to the root size helps prevent excess moisture. Large pots can stay wet at the bottom, which can stress the roots.

Repot when the roots fill the container or the mix loses its loose structure. Increase pot size gradually and keep the plant warm and stable after repotting.

Common issues

  • One yellow leaf can be normal as the plant grows
  • Several yellow leaves together suggest root or watering issues
  • Soft stems often point to cold, wet soil
  • Dry edges can come from uneven watering, dry air or buildup in the mix
  • Smaller leaves may follow stress, low light or tired substrate
  • Leaning growth usually comes from light reaching the plant from one side
  • Watch for pests like spider mites, thrips and mealybugs

Propagation and care

Remove fully yellow leaves at the base. Keep healthy leaves in place, as they feed the plant while new shoots develop.

Divide rooted shoots only when each piece has enough roots to keep growing after separation. Mature plants may produce a green spathe and spadix. Remove faded inflorescences with clean scissors once they start to dry.

Safety

This plant contains irritating oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and children, and use gloves when pruning, repotting or dividing the plant.

Botanical background

Alocasia cucullata was given its current name by George Don in 1839, based on the earlier name Arum cucullatum published by João de Loureiro. The species is native from Sri Lanka and the Himalayan region to southern China and Indo-China. The name cucullata means “hooded”, referring to the hood-like form seen in the plant’s flowers.

Bright & Pretty Hot Pink.
Color: Pitaya Red, Color: Pitaya Red
Very pretty and bright. It’s thick and great quality. Strong grip and doesn’t come off easily. Easy to clean when it gets dirty. It also has a nice backing. I prefer the transparent bright pink backing than the clear version. I love the strong magnetic for when I position it upwards. It can be positioned downwards too.

Very protective iPad case
Color: 1-Navy Blue
This MoKo iPad case is excellent! It fits perfectly and provides great protection without adding bulk. The navy blue color looks very sleek, and the translucent back shell is a nice touch. It’s super magnetic, with great padding. The smart cover works flawlessly with the auto wake/sleep feature, and the cutouts line up perfectly for Touch ID. Lightweight, durable, and a fantastic value!

Quick install of cartrage and software for printer counter
At first had trouble. The instructions that came with it would not reset my printer. I emailed the seller and about 24 hours later I received another set of instructions that worked on my printer. The price for 4 is great I now have a good supply of back ups. I have and do recommend this. It was an easy install of the ink tray, good quality and fit perfectly. It is compatible with several printers.

Easy process
I only used it once, I don’t know how the other 3 keys are supplied to work because I did not see any counting bit it work perfectly. It was super easy, my only issue is that I had to download the driver and restart the pc to make everything work out but the process itself is pretty easy. The printer work like new and the installation was easy too.
