Alocasia 'Imperial Red'

Alocasia 'Imperial Red' is a large hybrid Alocasia with broad green leaves, sturdy petioles and red to burgundy tones most visible on the undersides and stems. It develops a generous elephant-ear look in a pot once the root system has enough room to carry larger leaves.

Its parentage is Alocasia odora × Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Pink Petiole', with broad blades, upright growth and warm-growing roots typical of large hybrid Alocasia.

Broad foliage with red detail

  • Foliage: Large green blades with colour contrast strongest below the leaf.
  • Stems: Petioles can show red, pink or burgundy tones depending on maturity and growing conditions.
  • Scale: Builds into a substantial container plant with warmth, root room and feeding.
  • Hybrid background: Alocasia odora × Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Pink Petiole'.

Warm active growth in the pot

This plant has higher water and nutrient demand than many small jewel Alocasia while it is actively growing. The root zone should take a full watering and regain air soon after.

  • Light: Give strong indirect light from a large window or grow-light setup. Brighter softened light can improve leaf size and petiole colour.
  • Watering: Water deeply once the upper few centimetres of mix begin to dry. Active plants may need shorter intervals in summer.
  • Substrate: Use a coarse aroid mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite and a fertile moisture-holding component.
  • Pot choice: Use a stable pot that balances the leaf mass while still matching the root ball.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant warm, especially after watering, with active growth around 20–30 °C.
  • Humidity: Even humidity helps broad new leaves expand with fewer dry margins.
  • Feeding: Feed at moderate strength during leaf production. Flush occasionally if salts collect in the mix.
  • Repotting: Repot while growth is active so fresh roots move into the new mix quickly.

Petiole colour and root health

  • Leaning petioles: Rotate the pot and check whether the plant is reaching for a stronger light source.
  • Yellowing after a cold spell: Inspect the lower mix and keep the root zone warmer before watering again.
  • Brown edges: Review watering volume, humidity and fertiliser strength.
  • Pest marks: Check the undersides of broad leaves for mites and thrips during warm dry periods.

Red petioles in interiors

This hybrid Alocasia is toxic if chewed and can irritate skin when cut. Keep broad leaves and cut stems away from pets and children.

Red petioles behind Imperial Red

The genus name Alocasia refers back to Colocasia, a related aroid genus. Mature petioles and leaf undersides can show red to burgundy colour beneath the broad green blades.

Beautiful, sturdy, storage...many uses, easily put together in about 2 minutes! Love it!
This is the handiest storage that I have ever had! It also looks elegant while storing! Could be used for make-up, kitchen, bathroom, even a beside the bed caddy to hold your remotes and necessities to watch a movie! Very sturdy, I held a 10 lb. bag of potatoes on the middle shelf, and a 10 lb. bag of potatoes on the bottom shelf, with some fruit on top!! Beautiful twisted looking glass (plastic) for a more elegant look. There’s only one thing I wish you could change. I’d like to put the fruit on the plate on the top, but it will not go together that way! It’s so big it needs to sit in the floor, making that very cute little bottom shelf almost useless. Very pleased with this storage and comes in very handy!! Love it and have recommended it for friends!

Perfect!!
I had to replace my old metal stack bin. It was starting to rust and look well worn. I saw a lot of metal and wood bins but wanted something that was not to expensive and would be easy to clean. This was perfect. 4 baskets, bigger than my previous bin, and pretty sturdy and easy to clean (plastic). I ordered in white. It sits next to my white cabinet in my laundry room with my white machines. Looks clean and perfect!!

Nice Stand
This is very sturdy and was easy to assemble. I use it on my bathroom countertop. The top basket holds my hair dryer, getting the cord up off the counter while still plugged in. Just what I wanted.

Handy for storing fresh produce
The stacking baskets are as advertised. Easy to assemble without instructions. A little wobbly as expected but is sturdy enough; even better once propped in a corner. As with most things, it can last for quite a while if handled with care. Measurements are accurate. At 38" tall, I knew that the set of 4 baskets would have towered 2" above my countertop (36"). Now, I think that the set of 3 would have worked just fine at about 29" tall. I like that this can fit in such a tiny 12" floor space and I am able to reclaim some much needed counter space. Talk about uncluttered! Overall this was a good buy but I do think that it is a bit overpriced.
