Alocasia longiloba suhirmaniana 'Purple Vein' is a stunning and rare cultivar of Alocasia, highly sought after for its unique, dramatic foliage and vibrant purple veins.

This houseplant prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, the vibrancy of its purple veins and overall health is enhanced by ample light. However, avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. Alocasia longiloba suhirmaniana 'Purple Vein' likes to be kept in consistently moist soil but not waterlogged. It is essential to allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly before watering again. Overwatering or letting the plant sit in water can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage. A well-draining, rich potting mix is best for Alocasia longiloba suhirmaniana 'Purple Vein'. A peat-based mix with added perlite or orchid bark to promote drainage works well for this plant.

During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks to support healthy growth. Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months when the plant is not actively growing.
