Meet the Alocasia Amazonica, aka the African Mask plant—the showstopper your living room didn't know it needed. With dramatic, arrow-shaped leaves as dark as midnight and veins that look like they’ve been drawn on by a very precise artist, this plant is impossible to ignore. Each leaf is thick, leathery, and oversized—sometimes stretching over a foot long—while the flip side flashes a moody purple, just to keep things interesting. It stays a manageable 1-2 feet tall, so it won’t take over your space. Arrives in a 4-inch nursery pot, and yes, even the Maryland sales tax is already baked into the price. No drama there—just a plant that’s all about looks.
