If you have a Trader Joe’s near you RUN don’t walk. They’ve had a variety of Alocasia’s everyday. The black velvet and Sarian I got for $7.99 with the cute pot and the stingray I found today for $5.99! They are all healthy and thriving. I’m determined to find more varieties there. I also found a beautiful purple tarp elephant ear last week there and it’s doing great!

I live in WA! Usually I’ll call my local TJ and ask them when they’ll have Alocasias and I’ll show up right when they open cuz with the ones I have pictured they’ve only had 1 on stock for the day.
