The Alocasia sinuata, popularly known as ‘Mirror Face’ Elephant Ear, is a compact, dwarf species native to the Philippines. It is famous for its thick, arrow-shaped leaves that feature a deeply puckered texture and a highly reflective, metallic sheen. The foliage often transitions from a vibrant green to a moody, near-black hue as it matures. As a rare and slow-growing variety, it requires high humidity to maintain its characteristic glossy finish and unique leaf structure.

Light: Part sun part shade, too much will lead to the leaves burning. Water: When the top layer is dry, do not let it dry out completely between waterings. That means approximately every 10 days in the winter and potentially as often as every 5 days in the summer. Humidity: This plant needs high humidity, it will be very unhappy if your home isn’t humid or if you put it in front of a vent.
