Artificial Alocasia Brisbanensis ~100cm

Artificial Alocasia Brisbanensis — 100cm

Large, spade-shaped leaves on long, fleshy petioles — glossy, dark green, heart-shaped at the base and narrowing to a blunt tip, each up to 35cm long. Alocasia brisbanensis has the presence of a genuine structural feature plant, which is exactly how it’s used in real landscaping: as a bold architectural anchor, particularly around water features.

Cunjevoi — an Australian Alocasia

Unlike most Alocasia species, which are native to Southeast Asia, Alocasia brisbanensis — commonly known as Cunjevoi — is native to eastern Australia, growing along creek banks and in wet forest gullies from Queensland down through New South Wales. Its name comes directly from Brisbane, close to the heart of its native range.

Why “Around Water Features” Matters

Real Alocasia brisbanensis is a genuinely marginal, semi-aquatic plant — in the wild it grows with its roots constantly wet, often right at a creek’s edge. That’s a more demanding condition than almost any other plant in our collection: not just humidity, but genuinely saturated soil, maintained continuously. Very few indoor or landscaped settings can offer that reliably, which is why real specimens grown away from a genuine water feature tend to struggle and thin out. This artificial version reproduces the same bold spade-leaf silhouette without needing wet feet at all.

Toxicity — Worth Knowing

Like most aroids, Alocasia contains calcium oxalate crystals throughout the plant, making it toxic to cats, dogs and humans if chewed or ingested. This artificial version carries no such risk, which matters given the plant’s typical placement at floor height.

Construction & Detail

• Large spade-shaped leaves with moulded veining and a glossy finish matching the real plant’s fleshy surface
• Long petioles supporting each leaf at a natural angle
• Matte-to-glossy foliage finish
• Round pot base for stability

Where It Works

• Living rooms and studies — a bold, structural statement plant
• Poolside and water-feature-adjacent styling — the look without the actual wet-root requirement
• Offices and receptions — part of our office artificial plant programme
• Households with cats or dogs — the safe alternative to a toxic real plant

Care

Wipe the leaves with a soft dry cloth every few weeks to keep the glossy finish clear. Avoid oil-based furniture sprays. Kept indoors, expect years of service with no colour change.

Outdoor Use

Suitable for sheltered outdoor positions such as covered balconies and verandas. Prolonged direct sun and heavy rain shorten the life of any artificial foliage.
