Artificial Alocasia (Elephant Ear) 160cm — A Dramatic Statement Plant
Few plants make an entrance like the alocasia, or “elephant ear.” Its enormous, glossy, spade-shaped leaves — heart-shaped at the base, tapering to a point, held on long upright stems — are among the most dramatic and sculptural in the plant world. This artificial alocasia brings that bold tropical presence indoors permanently, standing a striking 160cm tall: a genuine floor “tree” that fills a corner or an entrance with height and character, without a moment’s maintenance.
The real alocasia is a demanding houseplant — it wants warmth, humidity, careful watering and just the right light, and it sulks dramatically when any of those are off. The artificial version gives you those magnificent leaves in any spot, including the large lobbies, offices and high-ceilinged rooms where its scale works best but a living one would struggle.
Where It Works
- Entryways & foyers — a bold, welcoming statement at the door
- Living room corners & high-ceilinged spaces — filling vertical space with drama
- Lobbies & hotel receptions — the scale and impact commercial spaces need
- Offices & boardrooms — a sophisticated green statement, zero upkeep
- Beside staircases or double-height walls — where its height earns its place
What You Get
- Height: approx. 160cm (~5.2ft), including pot
- Foliage: large, glossy, dark-green spade/heart-shaped leaves on long upright stems
- Pot: round black nursery pot
- Assembly: minimal — unbox, straighten the stems and angle the leaves
Styling It
At 160cm this plant is a focal point, so give it a substantial planter that matches its scale — a large ceramic, concrete or fibreglass pot (roughly 30–40cm diameter) grounds it properly. Position the big leaves to face outward and at varied angles so the plant reads full and natural. It works best with space around it to let those dramatic leaves be seen.
A Note on Placement & Sun
Alocasias are shade-loving, indoor plants, so an artificial one suits interiors and sheltered outdoor spots — out of direct sun. Prolonged direct sunlight in Singapore will fade artificial foliage over a few months, so keep it back from a bright window or under cover outdoors. For a fully exposed or open-air position, ask us about UV-treated options. Anywhere shaded or indoors, the colour holds indefinitely.
Care
Dust the large leaves with a soft dry cloth every couple of weeks — big glossy leaves show dust — or wipe them clean. No watering, feeding, misting or re-potting — ever.
For Lobbies, Offices & Commercial Projects
At 160cm, this alocasia is ideal for commercial spaces that need scale and impact — hotel lobbies, office receptions, restaurants, showrooms.
