Returns Simplified.Alocasia Jacklyn Ghost is a rare and highly collectable cultivar of the popular Alocasia Jacklyn (Alocasia tandurusa). Originating from Indonesia, this plant is admired for its unusual leaf shape and striking variegation.
The Ghost form displays the same deeply lobed, antler-like foliage that Jacklyn is famous for, but with an added twist dramatic splashes, marbling, or sectors of creamy-white to pale mint variegation across the leaves. These ghostly markings contrast beautifully against the dark, textured green background and bold venation, creating a one-of-a-kind living artwork.
As the plant matures, its upright, arrow-like leaves can grow 4070 cm long, each one uniquely patterned. This combination of exotic shape and rare variegation makes Alocasia Jacklyn Ghost one of the most desirable Alocasia cultivars for serious collectors.
Requires bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation. Too little light may cause creamy markings to fade, while harsh direct sun can scorch pale leaf sections.
Keep soil lightly and evenly moist during the growing season. Water when the top 23 cm feels dry, but ensure excellent drainage to avoid root rot. In winter or dormancy, reduce watering.
Temperature: Thrives in 1828C. Protect from draughts and never allow temperatures below 15C.
Humidity: High humidity (6080%) is essential. Mist regularly, place near a humidifier, or grow in a greenhouse-style cabinet.
Use a chunky, free-draining aroid mix: peat-free compost blended with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the mix and allow root and corm growth.
Feed every 23 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser. Stop feeding in autumn and winter.
Remove yellowing or damaged leaves at the base. Wipe foliage carefully with a damp cloth to keep the intricate lobes dust-free.
A moderate grower, reaching 60100 cm indoors with maturity. Like many Alocasias, it may enter dormancy in cooler months, during which leaves may die back to the corm before re-emerging in spring.
Loss of variegation: Insufficient light.
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poorly draining soil.
Brown edges: Low humidity or sunburn on pale areas.
Pests: Can be prone to spider mites, thrips, or mealybugs.
Discovered originally in Sulawesi, Indonesia, Alocasia Jacklyn quickly became a collectors favourite due to its unusual antler-like leaves. The Ghost form adds an extra layer of rarity with unpredictable variegation, making it an extraordinary centrepiece for aroids enthusiasts.
