Alocasia 'Dawn' Variegated (25-30" Tall) - Rare Live Indoor Plant, Unique Foliage

I am a plant addicted currently. I bought a leaf off a plant similar to this, a single leaf on Etsy for $90. So I was VERY skeptical when I found this whole plant for sale on Amazon. Let me just say I am VERY, VERY impressed. The shipping box was beat down, but I could see there was care in the packaging of the plant. I did have to cut off one leaf, a few leaves look dry/wilted, and I added more soil to cover the exposed roots. However, this plant as of right now is overall healthy and even sprouting new growth. The roots appear healthy and I do not see any pests. I highly recommend this plant to anyone wanting a unique green in their home. It’s worth every dollar. Now I’m mad about the $90 leaf haha.

I was very concerned about how far this plant was coming from and with inclement weather during transit. It was so well packaged that it had no damage. 3 days shipping during the winter and NO damage. I am so impressed and thankful for their careful and thoughtful packaging! The plant is so full and absolutely beautiful. It surpassed my expectations and I am so excited to add this plant to my collection.

I dont know what it is with this plant, i just cant get a good one, i love the plant because its very pretty, bit it does not stay that way for long, after a day or so alot of the leaves start to turn color an die an this just continues i paid $90 for this plant an i am so disappointed.. plus it just dont look like the pictures an it is not the size that was described, whats up with that?? I buy all of my plants on line and most of the live give or take 1 or 2,, so i cant blame on-line ordering.. This plant is just too expensive to just die like that.. i brought one for my mother for mothers day.. yes!! I did go back an purchase another one wen i got mines because like i said the plant is pretty, even tho its not as shown on line.. I got my mothers for $50 on sale plus tax. Way cheaper than mines.. well that was a mistake because as I stated mines started to die, because of that I didn’t give my mother hers for mother’s day, i wanted to see if the same would happened, an it sure did, the plant came looking ok an it had a few brown spot an i said ok, just cut those, a few day later that same thing started to happen with her plant as well. Glad I didn’t give it to my mother..very disappointed!!! I spent alot of money on 2 plants that are both on the brink of death.. :(

I am in love with the new addition to my collection. I ordered the Alocasia Dawn (the smaller one). I was lucky enough to catch it on sale, but honestly it would’ve been worth full price. It came in fantastic shape, very full, healthy and lush. It had new growth already. The leaves are big, some bigger than my hand already also. The variegation is so cool! Seriously, I am in love with it.

The plant, which arrived in three days, is full, healthy, beautiful, and pest-free. A couple of leaves were broken and the pot was damaged. That was not the fault of the sellers, however, but of Fed Ex, who delivered the box upside down despite the fact that it was clearly marked. I’m very happy with my purchase.UPDATE: As others have said, the plant appeared fine when it arrived but then quickly began dying. It turned out to be seriously rootbound and waterlogged. I have repotted it and put in in a spot that is ideal for its light requirements. I hope it will thrive, but much of its beauty is diminished because of all the dead leaves I had to cut away. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I received this beauty days before expected. It came wrapped in bubble wrap completely around the most vulnerable leaves and stem and around the pot which kept the soil from falling out and moist. Then it was wrapped with sturdy paper and in a good box. It took me awhile to unwrap everything, but it was well worth it. Not one leaf had damage. it looked like the picture online, I am so pleased and will be looking for my next choice, so will defiantly buy from this seller again.

I want to start by saying the companies customer service is great. I had concerns and questions and they did get back to me quickly.Now regarding the plant : when I saw it I felt like it was the most beautiful plant! I loved that it was “rare” and so special. The problem was that I have been having issues with it since the day I received it. The plant had spider mites. Which not only did I not realize until leaf damage started showing up but also I have NEVER had spider mites in my home. So now I bought neem oil, tried alcohol spray and wiping each leaf down weekly and even showering this plant to wash off all the bugs but no success. It’s quarantined in a separate room so it won’t infect my other plants but it’s too late. Already two of my other fav plants are suffering. I have been putting so much effort into keeping this plant alive and in healthy condition that I’m literally running out of hope and Steam. I regret buying this plant. It’s caused me so much trouble and I’m wasting time and money to desperately try to save it. It very fragile and arrived infected with mites which is just slowly killing the plant. My house now daily reeks of neem oil and I hate it. Maybe I was just unlucky with my plant but I truly wish I could send it back. I have ordered quite a bit of rare plants online and have never had this kind of issue happen. Sites like BWH would never send an infested plant out.

My husband purchased for me as a Christmas gift. It was absolutely gorgeous when I opened it. It was cold so it had lost a few leaves. Over the next couple days it lost some more. I decided to check the roots and the tips of most of the roots had started to rot. Very disappointed for a plant that cost so much. I hope I was able to save it. Posting pics of when I first got it vs now
