Alocasia 'Loco'
Loco Alocasia
Morphology
About
Alocasia 'Loco' is a compact, sculptural cultivar derived from tropical Alocasia ancestry of Southeast Asia, selected for its dramatically undulate, puckered leaves with deeply scalloped margins and a bold, glossy dark green surface. Upright petioles arise from a corm-like base, supporting leaves with pronounced pale veins that trace the scalloped outline with architectural precision. The distinctive puckered leaf form — the feature that earns it the name 'Loco' — gives the plant an almost ruffled, animated presence that stands out immediately in any collection.

Market Analysis & Price Guide
Historical auction metrics and live online retailer listings updated weekly.
How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.

Going Loco for Texture
The name says it all. Alocasia 'Loco' produces leaves with a level of surface drama that most aroids simply don't attempt — the blade is simultaneously scalloped at the margins, puckered across the surface, and traced with bold pale veins that follow every undulation. It reads as compact and architectural but also somehow frenetic in energy, which is presumably the inspiration for the name. Like most cultivated Alocasia it benefits from warm, humid conditions and a well-draining mix, and it rewards consistent care with rapid production of new, equally dramatic leaves.
