Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince'

Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince' has narrow, vein-marked leaves with dark green upper surfaces and purple-toned details on some growth. Pale veins, upright petioles, and pointed blades give the plant a clear longiloba profile.

Like other longiloba Alocasia, it grows from a rhizomatous base and forms upright petioles with pointed leaves. Warmth, filtered light, steady moisture, and higher humidity during unfurling keep new growth cleaner.

Dark leaves with purple-toned details

  • Leaf shape: Sagittate to narrow blades create the long, pointed outline typical of longiloba Alocasia.
  • Upper surface: Dark green leaf tissue gives strong contrast to the pale main veins.
  • Colour detail: Purple tones may appear on the underside, petioles, or new growth depending on the individual plant.
  • Growth base: The rhizomatous base prefers an airy, well-drained substrate.
  • New growth: Fresh leaves can be sensitive while unfurling and may mark if humidity is low or the plant is stressed.

Petioles, colour, and leaf development

Alocasia longiloba is known for variable leaf shape and colour, including dark upper surfaces, pale veins, and purple-toned undersides in some forms. On 'Purple Prince', the purple detail may appear on the visible leaf underside, petiole, or new growth.

The leaves are held on upright petioles from a compact rhizomatous base. Indoors, the plant responds best to filtered light, warm roots, and a potting mix that keeps moisture available while allowing air through the root zone.

Care for Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince'

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Direct sun can burn thin leaf areas and mark the pale veins.
  • Watering: Water once the upper substrate begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain fully.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix that keeps the rhizome aerated between waterings.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps narrow new leaves open with fewer creases and dry edges.
  • Warmth: Keep the plant away from cold draughts and cold wet substrate.
  • Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently when needed, as mites often settle on stressed Alocasia foliage.

Stress signs on purple-toned leaves

  • Stuck new leaves: Low humidity or root stress can cause new leaves to crease, tear, or open unevenly.
  • Brown edges: Thin leaf sections can dry after low humidity, direct sun, or irregular watering.
  • Fading older leaves: One older leaf fading can be normal, but repeated yellowing points to wet, cold, or damaged roots.
  • Soft base: A soft rhizome area needs immediate attention to substrate moisture and drainage.
  • Pests: Spider mites and thrips can cause speckling, scarring, and distorted new growth.

Safety

Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince' is not pet-safe. It contains insoluble calcium oxalates that can irritate the mouth, throat, and stomach if ingested, so keep it away from pets and children.

Botanical background and origin

Alocasia longiloba is an accepted Araceae species first published by Miquel in 1856 in Flora van Nederlandsch Indie. The genus name Alocasia was formed in relation to Colocasia, a closely allied aroid genus, while the epithet “longiloba” means long-lobed and refers to the extended leaf lobes. The species occurs from southern China to western and central Malesia in wet tropical habitats.

Best Tennis Balls Ever
Color: Non-Squeaky - Pack of 12, Size: Medium
Admittedly, I haven't had these for very long, received on Jan 7 and today is Jan 19., 2021, only 12 days. But, we have a terrier mix who hasn't found a tennis ball she couldn't destroy given an hour or two. That is until now. Twelve Days later? She hasn't managed to destroy it at all. We have a puzzle cub that came with a ball inside it. It only took her a couple hours for the ball to rupture at the seam and another 10 minutes to completely destroy it beyond recognition. We put one of these balls in there and here we are over a week later. Not only has she not destroyed the ball but she hasn't been able to get this one out. She looks so silly trying to carry the ball inside the cube. It's hilarious. Anyway, I digress. I would totally recommend this toy for an yone who has a dog that lives to play fetch bit keeps destroying the balls. By the way, Update: Jan 31, 2021 and still going strong. No signs of damage.

Perfect tennis ball size.
Color: Non-Squeaky - Pack of 12, Size: Medium
Like most doggy balls they dont last as long as real tennis ball, but a real tennis ball can wear down her teeth. Great colors, tho in a few days they are yard colored cuz of the slobber and nature on it. Love the handy mesh bag for keeping put away until we need to get out a new one. My dog loves the no squeaky. To her squeaky is inside toy and too distracting for outdoor play. She really enjoys fetching this ball.

My Dog Dreams Of Squeaky Balls 🐶
Color: Squeaky - Pack of 12, Size: Medium
My dog really loved these balls when I got them. It's a great variety of colors, the fabric is well-attached, and I LOVE that the squeaker is hidden under the fabric, reducing risk that it falls out and gets eaten by one of the dogs. The net carrying bag is a nice touch as well. Unfortunately, these balls do not hold up to much play. I have a medium-sized dog and he likes to mouth the ball when he catches it to squeak it. The squeaker broke on every single one of these within the first play session. Thankfully it stays contained in the sealed ball, but still, it would be nice if it lasted a *little* bit longer. Beyond the squeaker issue, my dog wears these out within a day or two of play. Keep in mind that he LOVES playing fetch and we will spend a good hour playing per night. Usually the fabric starts to detach and the ball will start breaking at the seam (the ball is two halves glued or sealed together). That may be the fault of the dog, though, since he does squeak these an awful lot while we play. Buying a stronger ball may not be an option because he enjoys the ones that are easier to squeak like these are! Overall I'm fairly happy, I just wish they lasted a little longer or cost a little less. 🐶
