Alocasia 'Chocolate Green'

Alocasia 'Chocolate Green' is a dark-leaved Alocasia with glossy green blades that carry a warm chocolate-green cast. Reddish-brown petioles sit below the darker leaves, so both the blade surface and the stems add visible colour.

It grows as an upright, rhizomatous Alocasia with fleshy petioles rising from the base. Indoors it needs warmth, bright filtered light and a breathable root zone; dense wet substrate or an oversized pot can quickly show up as yellowing leaves or soft petiole bases.

Dark blades and chestnut petioles

  • Leaf colour: Glossy dark green foliage with a chocolate-green tone, especially on fresh, healthy leaves.
  • Petioles: Reddish-brown to chestnut-toned stems give clear contrast below the leaf blades.
  • Growth style: Upright clumping growth from a rhizomatous base, with each leaf held on a separate fleshy petiole.
  • Root zone: A pot close to the root-ball size keeps moisture easier to control around the rhizome.
  • Indoor setup: Warmth, filtered light and an airy substrate keep the root zone stable around the rhizome.

Root-zone balance for dark-leaved Alocasia

The dark leaves of Alocasia 'Chocolate Green' respond well to steady filtered light and a root zone that never stays stagnant. Fleshy petioles store water, so sudden collapse, a soft base or a sour smell from the substrate usually points to root or rhizome stress.

A chunky aroid mix gives the roots both moisture and oxygen. Bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice or similar coarse ingredients create small air spaces around the root system while still holding enough moisture for active growth.

Keeping Alocasia 'Chocolate Green' steady indoors

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Direct midday sun can scorch the glossy leaf surface, while very low light can stretch petioles and slow new leaf production.
  • Water: Water once the upper few centimetres of substrate have dried. Let excess water drain fully and keep cachepots empty.
  • Mix: Use a loose aroid mix with coarse mineral or bark-based structure. Fine, compact soil holds too much water around the rhizome.
  • Warmth: Keep warm, ideally around 18-28 °C. Cold windowsills and cold wet substrate can damage roots before the leaves show symptoms.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity reduces dry edges and helps new leaves open more evenly. A humidifier or plant cabinet gives steadier conditions than wetting the leaves.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Flush the pot occasionally if mineral salts build up on the substrate surface.
  • Repotting: Move up only slightly in pot size when the root ball is established. A large wet pot around a small root system increases rot risk.
  • Pest watch: Inspect the undersides of leaves and the petiole bases for spider mites and thrips, especially in warm dry indoor air.

Problems to watch on Alocasia 'Chocolate Green'

  • Yellowing lower leaves: Often linked to overwatering, cold substrate or a root ball staying wet for too long.
  • Soft petiole bases: Check the rhizome and roots immediately; soft tissue at the base often means the root zone has stayed too wet.
  • Brown margins: Irregular watering, low humidity, fertiliser salts or dry heat can mark the leaf edge.
  • Fine speckling or webbing: Spider mites can build up quickly on glossy Alocasia leaves, especially when humidity is low.
  • Stalled growth: Cool roots, weak light or an exhausted root ball can pause new leaf production.

Safety for Alocasia 'Chocolate Green'

Alocasia 'Chocolate Green' contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and small children, and avoid contact with sap on sensitive skin or eyes.

Botanical background

Alocasia belongs to the aroid family, Araceae. The genus name is connected to Colocasia, an older aroid name traced to the Greek word kolokasia.

Buy these immediately!!!!!
Size: 3X, Color: (001) Black / / White
I was so happy to find a name brand pair of sweatpants in my size. When I ordered them, I thought I shouldn’t have wasted my money as I would probably have to return them. I was SO IMPRESSED!!! I tried them on and they fit like a glove. A little room to spare but I was so happy to have a nice pair of sweatpants. They are so comfy and warm. I got them on sale and they were a steal. I would have paid so much more buying them online or at a store. Thank you for having bigger sizes and clothes that are true to size. I love the way they look on me and fit!!! My new favorite pair of sweatpants and I even bought another pair. I now have two pairs in black. The sweatpants kept me warm on a cold day outside and just comfy enough without being too warm inside. The weight of the sweatpants is perfect.

Warm and cozy for winter
Size: X-Small, Color: Black (002)/White
I. Love. These. Pants. I have them in three colors and I feel like I live in them during these midwest winters. They are cozy and comfy for around the house, but are totally cute enough to wear out and don't feel like typical sweat pants or pajamas like some joggers can. They are warm and snuggly inside, which I like, and have held up really well after several washes. I would say they run a little small, so consider sizing up unless you like a snugger fit. I am usually between an XS and Small and went with XS on my orders. They are slightly loose but not baggy. They also are not super long, mine hit me near the top of my ankle and I'm 5'4". It doesn't bother me, but I do find myself pulling them down at the ankle when I get out of the car or stand up from the couch, because they just seem a little high. For a comfy, warm, casual but stylish athletic type winter pant (exactly what I was after)... this is it.

They fit perfect and are super comfy
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / / White
Very soft and comfy! They are not the thickest to wear during a brutal winter, but they are warm. These are true to size (as recommended by my Amazon account). I loved these pants so much that I got me two more. They look great!

High quality, good fit
Size: XX-Large, Color: (001) Black / / White
These fit perfectly, not super baggy and lose but definitely not tight. I have larger knees so sometimes tapered legs are too tight on my knees but these are perfect. Waistband is perfect. Thickness is not too hot or too cold. Soft and breathable.
