Alocasia Sinuata

Alocasia sinuata, commonly known as the Quilted Dreams Alocasia, is a rare and striking jewel Alocasia prized for its glossy, deeply textured leaves that resemble hand-stitched quilting. Each leaf features dramatic ridges, a metallic sheen, and a rich green colour that intensifies with age. Native to the Philippines, this compact variety is treasured by collectors for its sculptural foliage and elegant tropical presence, making it a standout addition to any aroid lover’s collection.

Key Features:

Alocasia sinuata typically reaches 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) in height and forms a compact clumping habit. As a smaller jewel Alocasia, it is perfect for shelves, desks, and curated plant displays. With proper humidity and warmth, new leaves emerge regularly throughout the growing season.

Pet-Friendliness

Toxic to pets – Contains calcium oxalate crystals which can be harmful if ingested by cats or dogs. Keep out of reach of pets and children.

Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which may burn or fade the leaves.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch to dry slightly before watering again. Reduce watering in winter.

Humidity: Requires high humidity (60–80%). Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other plants to maintain moisture.

Temperature: Keep between 18°C–27°C. Avoid drafts and cold temperatures below 15°C.

Soil: Use a well-draining, airy aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir to prevent root rot.

Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer. Do not fertilize during winter dormancy.

Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to support healthy new growth.

Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when root-bound. Choose a pot with drainage and refresh with nutrient-rich aroid mix.

Pro Tip: Alocasia sinuata thrives in stable conditions. Keep it warm, humid, and evenly watered for its most dramatic quilted foliage. If leaf tips brown, increase humidity and ensure you’re using filtered or dechlorinated water.
