Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ (also sold as Alocasia tandurusa). Native to Indonesia, where it grows in humid jungle understories with constant airflow and dappled light moving across the forest floor. The soil stays airy and lightly moist from frequent rain and organic debris. Valued for its highly textured, antler-like foliage and strong collector appeal. Leaves are deeply lobed with a matte green surface and bold, raised veining, giving it a sculptural look.
Light requirements.
Prefers east and south windows.
Place 1–2 ft from the window.
Grow lights 5000K–6500K.
10–14 inches from canopy.
Foot-candles: 800–1,500 for steady growth and leaf structure.
Watering & environment.
Allow soil to dry halfway between watering.
Always check root zone.
Prefers higher humidity with strong airflow and warm temperatures.
What your plant is telling you.
Needs water: leaves soften and begin to droop.
Too wet: base weakens and leaves yellow.
Light issues: smaller, less defined leaves indicate low light.

from 815 reviewsBeautiful plant! Very well packaged and timely shipping!
The plant arrived in perfect condition and is beautiful. I love it!
Despite the “beginner” name, I’d say it’s genuinely useful at any experience level. It starts with a solid foundation for those just getting into houseplants, but the depth of the later guides means it doesn’t feel like it’s talking down to anyone with more experience. It’s less about basic care instructions and more about building a real understanding of how plants function, which is useful whether you’re keeping your first pothos alive or managing a larger, more varied collection.
What sets it apart is the emphasis on understanding why plants behave the way they do, not just prescribing one-size-fits-all care instructions. This approach makes it easier to recognize early warning signs and address issues before they become serious problems.
Overall, I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a more thorough, connected understanding of plant care rather than piecemeal advice — regardless of how long you’ve been growing.
Wonderful shop to purchase from! I am
Learning so much and am thoroughly enjoying the beginners plant guide series. The pest guide helped me successfully defeat fungus gnats and taught me to transition to bottom watering. Thanks Mel!!
Plant was well packed. I unpacked it and it is beautiful! Waiting for my new lead to unfurl. Can't wait to repot in a few weeks.
I ordered two bird of paradise and they came super fast and were very healthy plants. Will order again.
My plant arrived in great condition in the middle of a heat wave! Excellent packaging and great plant!
