Alocasia lauterbachiana 'Purple Sword' is a tender, upright perennial, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environment. This evergreen plant originally belongs to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and New Guinea in particular.
The long, spear-shaped, and glossy dark-green to purple leaves with scalloped edges and reddish undersides stand on tall petioles of purple to brown shade. You can easily get an illusion of an artificial plant due to the thin and stiff leaves with dual shades. Furthermore, each leaf may get as long as 2 feet and make the plant look like one of its own kind. Go on, make a statement! And bring this gorgeous plant into your home.
