Alocasia 'Imperial Red'

Alocasia 'Imperial Red' is a large hybrid Alocasia with broad green leaves, sturdy petioles and red to burgundy tones most visible on the undersides and stems. It develops a generous elephant-ear look in a pot once the root system has enough room to carry larger leaves.

Its parentage is Alocasia odora × Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Pink Petiole', with broad blades, upright growth and warm-growing roots typical of large hybrid Alocasia.

Broad foliage with red detail

  • Foliage: Large green blades with colour contrast strongest below the leaf.
  • Stems: Petioles can show red, pink or burgundy tones depending on maturity and growing conditions.
  • Scale: Builds into a substantial container plant with warmth, root room and feeding.
  • Hybrid background: Alocasia odora × Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Pink Petiole'.

Warm active growth in the pot

This plant has higher water and nutrient demand than many small jewel Alocasia while it is actively growing. The root zone should take a full watering and regain air soon after.

  • Light: Give strong indirect light from a large window or grow-light setup. Brighter softened light can improve leaf size and petiole colour.
  • Watering: Water deeply once the upper few centimetres of mix begin to dry. Active plants may need shorter intervals in summer.
  • Substrate: Use a coarse aroid mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite and a fertile moisture-holding component.
  • Pot choice: Use a stable pot that balances the leaf mass while still matching the root ball.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant warm, especially after watering, with active growth around 20–30 °C.
  • Humidity: Even humidity helps broad new leaves expand with fewer dry margins.
  • Feeding: Feed at moderate strength during leaf production. Flush occasionally if salts collect in the mix.
  • Repotting: Repot while growth is active so fresh roots move into the new mix quickly.

Petiole colour and root health

  • Leaning petioles: Rotate the pot and check whether the plant is reaching for a stronger light source.
  • Yellowing after a cold spell: Inspect the lower mix and keep the root zone warmer before watering again.
  • Brown edges: Review watering volume, humidity and fertiliser strength.
  • Pest marks: Check the undersides of broad leaves for mites and thrips during warm dry periods.

Red petioles in interiors

This hybrid Alocasia is toxic if chewed and can irritate skin when cut. Keep broad leaves and cut stems away from pets and children.

Red petioles behind Imperial Red

The genus name Alocasia refers back to Colocasia, a related aroid genus. Mature petioles and leaf undersides can show red to burgundy colour beneath the broad green blades.

If you're partial to mesh loofahs, get these instead!
Scent: Gray
Here I am, a 33 year-old guy and avid death metal fan. Writing reviews for, and getting excited about exfoliating shower cloths. I'm not sure what brought me to this point in life, but I'll attempt to share some wisdom now that I'm here. Before these cloths entered my life, I was supremely dedicated to showering with traditional mesh loofahs. They had a good "scrub factor" and showering with bare soap bars or normal cotton wash cloths just made me feel like I was pushing soap around without actually getting clean. Well, I eventually got frustrated with having to keep a bunch of them stocked in the bathroom cabinets and the enormous amount of waste they produce. It's recommend to replace traditional mesh shower loofahs every 8 weeks, but uhhh.. who are we kidding? You'd be lucky to use one for half that length of time before the knot loosens up and it all unravels on you. Enter: these things! These double-sided wash cloths take everything I enjoyed about mesh scrubbers and put it all into a different form-factor. Both the soft side and the exfoliating side make a rich lather with a minimal amount of body wash, which is something you WON'T get with regular wash rags. These cloths are strong, well-made, and mostly importantly they won't unravel into a pile of cheap plastic. Another advantage these have over regular cotton rags is that they're made of a quick-drying material, which makes it a lot harder for bacteria to harbor and grow. A thorough rinse along with a firm wringing to expel the excess water before hanging it up to dry, and you're good to go! One more advantage these have over loofahs and sponges is how much better the cloths are for getting into tighter spaces (I'm specifically referring to cleaning feet and in-between toes, but yes, it'll get THOSE areas nice and clean too) 👌. At $20 for a 3-pack (on sale for $15 at the time of this review), these cloths are more expensive when compared to the cheap mesh loofahs that you can pick up for $2-3 a piece. But trust me when I tell you that these cloths will far out last even the most premium loofahs, and they clean infinitely better as well. Give 'em a shot, and maybe one day you'll start getting excited about boring, dumb adult stuff too! 🤘

I like it just not the soft side
Scent: Gray
Now when I looking for cloths. I was looking for a face one. There was a photo here that showed a up close shot of the texture of the rough side... that's what made me get it. And I'm honestly happy that I did. I literally just came out the shower. Im air drying while writing this lol. To talk about how it's worth the money getting this. Im surprise they don't have more ratings. When you look at the video for this product it looks dramatic cause it is. Its meant to be. but when they actually mention details about the product...... its the honest truth. The rough I love it. I actually feel like I have a new skin after rubbing all the dead skin off my body and used another one to rub my feet (never mix the two lol) so the rough side of the product has 100% 👍🏽 👍🏽 from me. But the soft side. Ehh honestly it isn't for me if the soft side was a bit more rough. I would love it. But when I used it it felt like I was just rubbing batter on me or something like that. If they made a glove version of this I would buy 1 for each day of the week lol. If they another cloth that didn't have such a soft side I'll buy that instead. But honestly this product is amazing and worth the money they're asking form. Which isn't a lot. Believe me you'll feel better after that good scrub down... just be gentle at certain areas and on your neck. I'm going to buy the actual face one from this company on my next pay check. So worth it

Small Wash Cloth - Potholder Size
I really want to rave about the product, but it is just too small. The wash cloth lather's really well (it will save on liquid soap). I love the exfoliating side, I feel I am getting clean. I am a female who loves to work outside in the garden, ride ATV's and do woodworking. I get really dirty and it is great for removing dirt! My husband loves the cloth too, but he is tall (6'2") and the cloth is really small for him. For Him, my solution was to sew two of them together (don't judge my sewing skills). He can now use it as a wash cloth and back scratcher/cleaner (loops sewn at opposing ends). Pros: Cleans well, lots of lather with little soap, has a hanging hoop. Cons: Extremely Small (that is a regular size white Bed and Bath wash cloth for comparison). If using the terry cloth side, hard to hold because synthetic scrubby side is slick, the terry side also tends to "ball up" (I don't think this can be fixed because of the nature of the synthetic side). Please make this product larger, I would definitely buy again. Thank You!
