Description

Corm of Alocasia Cuprea Nom Yen, a rare and highly sought-after variety for its metallic foliage and its beautiful variegation in green, coppery and pink tones.

In the photos you will first see the mother plant so you can appreciate its potential, then the corm you will receive, and finally the baby plant that is a sibling of this same corm, as a sample of what it can develop into.

It is shipped with care, well protected. Remember that a corm needs patience and attention to sprout: it is a little treasure on its way.
