Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince'

Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince' has narrow, vein-marked leaves with dark green upper surfaces and purple-toned details on some growth. Pale veins, upright petioles, and pointed blades give the plant a clear longiloba profile.

Like other longiloba Alocasia, it grows from a rhizomatous base and forms upright petioles with pointed leaves. Warmth, filtered light, steady moisture, and higher humidity during unfurling keep new growth cleaner.

Dark leaves with purple-toned details

  • Leaf shape: Sagittate to narrow blades create the long, pointed outline typical of longiloba Alocasia.
  • Upper surface: Dark green leaf tissue gives strong contrast to the pale main veins.
  • Colour detail: Purple tones may appear on the underside, petioles, or new growth depending on the individual plant.
  • Growth base: The rhizomatous base prefers an airy, well-drained substrate.
  • New growth: Fresh leaves can be sensitive while unfurling and may mark if humidity is low or the plant is stressed.

Petioles, colour, and leaf development

Alocasia longiloba is known for variable leaf shape and colour, including dark upper surfaces, pale veins, and purple-toned undersides in some forms. On 'Purple Prince', the purple detail may appear on the visible leaf underside, petiole, or new growth.

The leaves are held on upright petioles from a compact rhizomatous base. Indoors, the plant responds best to filtered light, warm roots, and a potting mix that keeps moisture available while allowing air through the root zone.

Care for Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince'

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Direct sun can burn thin leaf areas and mark the pale veins.
  • Watering: Water once the upper substrate begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain fully.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix that keeps the rhizome aerated between waterings.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps narrow new leaves open with fewer creases and dry edges.
  • Warmth: Keep the plant away from cold draughts and cold wet substrate.
  • Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently when needed, as mites often settle on stressed Alocasia foliage.

Stress signs on purple-toned leaves

  • Stuck new leaves: Low humidity or root stress can cause new leaves to crease, tear, or open unevenly.
  • Brown edges: Thin leaf sections can dry after low humidity, direct sun, or irregular watering.
  • Fading older leaves: One older leaf fading can be normal, but repeated yellowing points to wet, cold, or damaged roots.
  • Soft base: A soft rhizome area needs immediate attention to substrate moisture and drainage.
  • Pests: Spider mites and thrips can cause speckling, scarring, and distorted new growth.

Safety

Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince' is not pet-safe. It contains insoluble calcium oxalates that can irritate the mouth, throat, and stomach if ingested, so keep it away from pets and children.

Botanical background and origin

Alocasia longiloba is an accepted Araceae species first published by Miquel in 1856 in Flora van Nederlandsch Indie. The genus name Alocasia was formed in relation to Colocasia, a closely allied aroid genus, while the epithet “longiloba” means long-lobed and refers to the extended leaf lobes. The species occurs from southern China to western and central Malesia in wet tropical habitats.

REALLY CUTE SHOE BUT CUT WAY TOO SMALL!
Size: 8, Color: Black Patent
I received the black patent leather shoes today and they are so cute! Sadly I need to return them because they are cut way too small. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 on dress shoes so I ordered the 8. They are so tight across the top that it's uncomfortable as soon as I put them on. They are smaller than a normal size 8 dress shoe. The big toe area is extremely uncomfortable because it doesn't allow any room for it at all, so my big toe just presses against the side and end of the shoe without even walking in them. I have very narrow feet and these still are too small for me. So I am returning them and I already ordered a 8.5 W and hope that will fit much better. The patent leather is very cute and adds just enough dressy that I can wear them with slacks or my Capri jeans. I like the slip on and the cushion foot bed because it feels soft.

Love these flats!
Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin, Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin
One of my favorite pair of flats! I’ve had these for several years and they are still comfortable, in good shape and really add a little spice to my outfits. I can wear these all day and not have any foot pain or discomfort as a result. The quality is good, fit is perfect and I tend to have difficulty with shoes due to bunions. Love these!!
