ALOCASIA CUCULLATA ‘CRINKLES’

CULTIVAR DESCRIPTION: Alocasia cucullata ‘Crinkles’ is a cultivar of Alocasia cucullata and is often sold as Alocasia triangularis, which is not an accepted name for this cultivar (i.e. it leads growers to believe it’s a distinct species due to the latinized name). This cultivar is similar to Alocasia macrorrhizos ‘Shock Treatment’ in that both have suffered a similar mutation, leading to diamond shapred leaves, ruffled/crinkled leaf edges and a “cupped” leaf shape.

SYNONYMS: Alocasia cucullata ‘Krinkles’
