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.

All in One; Power Strip & Surge Protector
The Tripp-Lite Protect It Surge Suppressor is definitely the All in One tool for the job. This power strip surge protector features seven handy outlets; number seven (at the end) is a wider plug surrounding that works wonders for plugging in that bulky AC adaptors that tend to take up so much space otherwise. Its twelve foot cord allows easy extending that is almost as large as most rooms. The red on/off tap button glows a pretty reddish/orange when lit, but does tap on and off rather easily, so it's best to either mount it on the wall or low on the wall/floor molding, or have it somewhere where the button will not be easily tapped, otherwise everything goes off. The little Green LED light at the top of the switch ensures you that everything is in working order. We had a pretty bad electrical storm not long after ordering this product and when all of the other lights in the house dimmed, the Television set didn't flicker, so at $21 dollars, I feel that it has already paid for itself. One last note, for all those who are concerned with having only, or prefer, "Green" products, this power strip is ROHS Compliant; meaning it meets all requirements under the California Compliance Code.

BEST Surge Protector
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
Bought this based on so many rave reviews. I agree -- really great product. Nice long, thick cord and has 7 outlets, so I can plug in a lamp and all the "doodads" from my power recliner (power pack, remote, etc.) with ease. Slimline design makes it look nice, not bulky. Will DEFINITELY buy Tripp surge protectors from now on --- worth the money --- a great product !!!

Only get Automatic Shutoff surge protectors!
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
Surge protectors should STOP working once the surge protection is used up. These are among the few that operate like this. Always look for this feature, as surge protectors often wind up sitting under a desk for years. When it stops functioning as a surge protector, why would you want it to continue functioning as a passthrough power strip? There's no more protection. This line of Tripp Lite surge protectors function properly, and STOP working when it can no longer function as a surge protector.

Very nice! Perfect description and I can see these lasting a good long time!
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
We recently moved and needed much longer cords for some exercise equipment that requires surge protectors. We looked around and found these available in a variety of lengths. We bought two after measuring to make sure we got the right length, and we are very happy. They are the full length as advertised. Flexible cord with durable plugs and seem very sturdy! Nice, heavy wire covering - nothing flimsy about them! Very pleased with the quality for the price!
