Alocasia cucullata

Alocasia cucullata is an upright Alocasia with glossy green leaves and a clumping base. Mature plants can develop several shoots from the base.

Alocasia cucullata can reach around 65 cm tall. Indoors, size depends on light, warmth, pot size and age. The leaves are smooth, rounded and slightly cupped, with a soft hooded look.

Leaf shape and growth

The leaves are broad and heart-shaped with a gentle curve. Stems grow upright from the base, and older plants can form several shoots.

New leaves emerge upright, then settle into position as they mature. The glossy surface shows dust, water marks and pest damage quickly, so regular leaf checks are useful.

  • Glossy, rounded leaves with a soft curve
  • Upright, clumping growth
  • Upright habit that broadens with age
  • Can reach around 100 cm tall
  • Glossy green leaves on upright petioles

Origin and growing conditions

This species comes from a wide range across Asia, from Sri Lanka and the Himalaya to southern China and Indo-China. It grows in warm, humid conditions and is widely cultivated.

Indoors, it prefers steady warmth, filtered light and even moisture. The roots need air as well as water, so the mix should drain well from top to bottom.

Water and light

  • Light: Bright, indirect light or soft morning sun
  • Watering: Water thoroughly, then let excess drain
  • Substrate: Loose mix that stays lightly moist and drains freely
  • Temperature: Keep above 18 °C; grows best in warm conditions
  • Humidity: Around 50–70% is usually enough for steady leaf opening
  • Feeding: Light, regular feeding during active growth
  • Pot choice: Use a stable pot with drainage
  • Mineral substrates: Can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if the change is gradual

Pot size and moisture

Keeping the pot close to the root size helps prevent excess moisture. Large pots can stay wet at the bottom, which can stress the roots.

Repot when the roots fill the container or the mix loses its loose structure. Increase pot size gradually and keep the plant warm and stable after repotting.

Common issues

  • One yellow leaf can be normal as the plant grows
  • Several yellow leaves together suggest root or watering issues
  • Soft stems often point to cold, wet soil
  • Dry edges can come from uneven watering, dry air or buildup in the mix
  • Smaller leaves may follow stress, low light or tired substrate
  • Leaning growth usually comes from light reaching the plant from one side
  • Watch for pests like spider mites, thrips and mealybugs

Propagation and care

Remove fully yellow leaves at the base. Keep healthy leaves in place, as they feed the plant while new shoots develop.

Divide rooted shoots only when each piece has enough roots to keep growing after separation. Mature plants may produce a green spathe and spadix. Remove faded inflorescences with clean scissors once they start to dry.

Safety

This plant contains irritating oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and children, and use gloves when pruning, repotting or dividing the plant.

Botanical background

Alocasia cucullata was given its current name by George Don in 1839, based on the earlier name Arum cucullatum published by João de Loureiro. The species is native from Sri Lanka and the Himalayan region to southern China and Indo-China. The name cucullata means “hooded”, referring to the hood-like form seen in the plant’s flowers.

Great shirt but won’t work if your slim cut.
Size: Large, Color: Dull Pink
Fabric is nice and looks of good quality, just is a bit wide in the torso, so it doesn’t fit my slim fit husband. If you wear slim fit dress shirts I would likely say this shirt will be boxy on you in the waste. Good price if it works for you and comes in so many color options!

No negatives about these shirts.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Light Green
Can't say enough good things about these shirts. I have purchased several colors of these shirts and they fit wonderfully. I have a belly so button down shirts that actually fit are hard to find. They are either too big across the shoulders to fit my belly or just too tight around my belly. These fit and look create and i will buy them again as needed.

Sizes Run Small
Size: X-Large, Color: Classic Blue
Love the fabric & colors. Amazon delivered on time. But, be aware, the sizes run SMALL. I have 15 year old size large dress shirts that I bought at Kohl's that fit perfectly but are showing their age. I tried a size large in these & they are too small. An XL fits perfectly.
