Alocasia ‘Platinum’ is a rare and exquisite tropical aroid treasured for its silvery, metallic foliage and sculptural elegance. A hybrid member of the Araceae family, this cultivar is thought to derive from Alocasia reginula (the Black Velvet) or closely related jewel Alocasias, combining compact growth with a cool, shimmering tone that truly lives up to its name.

The leaves are thick, velvety, and distinctly heart-shaped, with a silvery-grey surface that reflects light like brushed metal. Deep green to charcoal veins carve through each leaf, enhancing the metallic contrast and creating a textured, three-dimensional appearance. New leaves often unfurl with a subtle blue-green tint before settling into their platinum finish.

Compact, sculptural, and deeply luxurious, Alocasia ‘Platinum’ is a statement species for collectors who value refined, jewel-like foliage. It brings an instant sense of depth and calm to modern interiors, pairing especially well with darker or variegated tropicals.


Alocasia ‘Platinum’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun may scorch or fade the delicate silver tones, while too little light can dull the metallic sheen and slow growth. A position near an east- or north-facing window is ideal, or filtered light through sheer curtains.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry. Alocasias are sensitive to both drought and overwatering — aim for steady, moderate moisture. During dormancy or cooler months, reduce watering frequency but never allow the soil to dry completely.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 20–28°C. Protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 16°C, which can trigger dormancy.

  • Humidity: Enjoys high humidity (60–80%). Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other tropical plants to keep the air moist. Regular misting also helps maintain lush, blemish-free leaves.

Soil and Potting

Use a light, free-draining aroid mix — equal parts compost, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. The roots appreciate a balance of airflow and consistent moisture. Repot every 1–2 years in spring, using a pot only slightly larger than the root ball.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the active growing season (spring to late summer) with a diluted, balanced fertiliser formulated for foliage plants. Avoid over-fertilising; excess nutrients can damage the sensitive root system and dull the silvery colour.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to maintain plant health and appearance. Wipe the leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and highlight their metallic texture. Rotate the pot every few weeks for even growth.

Growth and Maturity

A slow to moderate grower, typically reaching 30–50 cm in height and spread. New leaves emerge regularly during the warm season, each more striking than the last. Like other jewel Alocasias, it may enter a brief dormancy in winter — simply reduce watering and resume regular care when new growth appears.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Brown tips: Low humidity or mineral build-up.

  • Drooping: Cold shock or underwatering.

  • Pests: Can attract spider mites, thrips, or fungus gnats; treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary.


Background and Benefits

Alocasia ‘Platinum’ belongs to the growing family of “jewel Alocasias” — compact, slow-growing species and hybrids admired for their luxurious foliage and intricate surface textures. Its unique metallic tone and velvety finish set it apart from other Alocasias, earning it a reputation as one of the most elegant and photogenic varieties in modern plant collections.

Beyond its ornamental value, Alocasia ‘Platinum’ contributes to air purification, helping to improve indoor air quality while adding serenity and refinement to any room. Its manageable size and sculptural form make it ideal for display on desks, side tables, or plant pedestals.

Soft!!!
Size: Throw(51" x 63"), Color: Light Grey
This blanket is very soft, but it’s not made the same on both sides. And it doesn’t fold easily because of that. But it is very soft and comfy. I hope it lasts after being washed cause many things lose their softness after being washed.

Luxury and priced so well.
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Tipped Champagne Ivory
Absolutely gorgeous. Its got some weight to it, which I love, so cuddly. Nice quality velvet lines the underside in a beige color. Well done. Looks and feels so luxurious. The color is as in the picture, has dimension when its rumpled, but fully creamy white when laying flat. I can't figure it out how that happens lol! But its lovely.

Buy it!
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Tipped Champagne Ivory
So soft and perfect weight! The color is beautiful and it feels luxury!! Great value for money and the size is perfect. Fits over my king bed nicely, not enough to be an actual king size blanket but it’s enough to cover the main part of the bed and add extra warmth! Mine did shed a little out of the bag, but I just put it in the dryer with some dryer sheets (no heat) for an hour and that did the trick!
