Alocasia 'Metalhead' is a striking cultivated variety of Alocasia, prized for its spectacular foliage that captures attention in any garden or indoor space. This plant is distinguished by its large, glossy, dark green, almost metallic leaves, hence the name 'Metalhead'. The leaves often have an arrow or heart shape characteristic of Alocasias, with prominent veins that can sometimes have a lighter or silvery tint, further accentuating their metallic appearance.

Origin: Although Alocasias are native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Australia, the 'Metalhead' variety has been specifically bred for its unique aesthetic qualities, making it a favorite among collectors and plant enthusiasts .
Growth: Alocasia 'Metalhead' shows moderate growth, forming a dense clump that can reach significant height and width in optimal conditions. Like many Alocasias, 'Metalhead' appreciates high humidity and a well-lit environment, but without direct exposure to intense sun.
Flowers: Although flowering is not the main characteristic for which 'Metalhead' is usually grown, it can produce inflorescences typical of Alocasias, with a spadix surrounded by a spathe, but these are often less spectacular than the foliage himself.
Light: Prefers bright indirect light. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, which can burn delicate leaves. A location near an east or west facing window is ideal.
Watering: Alocasia 'Metalhead' requires regular watering to keep the substrate evenly moist, but not soggy. Make sure the pot allows for good drainage to prevent root rot.
Substrate: A rich, well-draining soil mixture is recommended. A substrate for tropical plants, with added perlite or vermiculite to improve drainage, works well.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures, with high humidity. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
Toxicity: Toxic Plant

Once the order leaves our greenhouses, the carrier takes full responsibility for your package. We are not responsible for any risks associated with shipping. Please contact the carrier directly for any issues.

You must be present at the time of delivery, as we require a signature upon receipt. It is your responsibility to email us before delivery to notify us of your absence. If you prefer a delivery without a signature, please inform us when placing your order. However, you assume full responsibility in case of theft or weather-related damage.

We offer the option to choose your preferred carrier at checkout. We will do our best to ship your package via the selected company. However, in some cases, to ensure timely delivery, we may need to use another carrier. If you absolutely wish to keep your initial choice, please inform us when placing your order. Additional shipping fees may apply in such cases.

Shipping Costs:

    Shipping costs are determined based on the exact weight of your package, rather than a fixed rate. This ensures that you pay the exact cost of your order. We work with multiple delivery companies, allowing us to offer you the best price as well as the fastest and most efficient shipping option.

    Order Preparation:

    A confirmation receipt will be sent to you once your purchase is confirmed. We only ship across Canada from Monday to Wednesday to prevent packages from sitting in postal offices over the weekend. Once your order has been processed and shipped, you will receive a tracking number and an estimated delivery date. This tracking number allows you to check your order status in real-time until its final destination. Please check your spam folder if you do not receive a confirmation email. We do not provide delivery time estimates due to the high volume of orders we prepare.

    Want to cancel an order? We can issue a refund only if the order has not yet been processed and/or shipped. A $10 fee may apply in such cases.
