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.

need a smooth sink surface for this to work
Color: Silver
Suction cups didn't stick to my sink and kept falling; to be fair, surface of my sink is textured.

Three months later, it's a keeper
Color: Silver
I hate it when reviews are left one day after the product arrives. At that point, there's no way of knowing if the item is going to last. When my last sink caddy went bad (the suction cups rotted out and the wires had started to rust), I ordered this as a replacement. Inexpensive, functional, worth a try. There were two things that impressed me when this arrived. The suction cups weren't permanently mounted, so if they fell apart, the caddy was still worthwhile. Secondly, the company offered free replacement suction cups if the time came I needed them. That struck me as above-and-beyond; I had no idea this was part of the package. I'm happy with this. It looks good, I detach the sink caddy regularly when I want to move it out of the way, and it pops right back into place. For the money, I don't think you can beat it.

Beautiful Shelves.
Color: Brown, Size: 3Tier48in, Color: Brown, Size: 3Tier48in
Did not come with instructions but easy to assemble once you start putting together. Very sturdy and well made, real wood shelves, not too heavy but can definitely hold a decent amount of weight. The shelves themselves are rough (could have been sanded better) but where it’s for decor and not every day use, no one would ever know. I love it.
