Alocasia sarawakensis is a species of flowering plant in the elephant ear genus Alocasia (family Araceae), native to Borneo. Unusually for an aroid, it is a freshwater swamp forest obligate, preferring well-lit situations. A large species, it can reach 8 ft (2.4 m). A cultivar, 'Yucatan Princess', is commercially available. Alocasia sarawakensis can be difficult for home gardeners in Europe or North America to grow; it will not tolerate extended periods of temperatures below 50°F. During its growing season, moderate watering paired with weekly feeding are required for Alocasia sarawakensis to thrive....read more on Wikipedia.
