Alocasia infernalis "Black Magic"

If you wish to see Alocasia infernalis 'Black magic' in nature, you must travel to Borneo or Malaysia in South-East Asia. The species' name 'Infernalis' 'Hellish' probably refers to the reddish shine of the almost black leaf. This species is also known as the 'Skeleton plant' due to the striking veins on its dark leaf. Not the usual bright blooms I tent to create, this beautifully elegant house plant is magical. Housed in an earthy basket pot, Alocasia infernalis feels will feel at home no matter the decor.
