Bold, Tropical Foliage with a Camouflage Twist
Bring a splash of color and wild beauty indoors with the Alocasia 'Hilo Beauty', also known as Caladium praetermissum. This unique perennial features large heart-shaped leaves marbled with lime green, creamy white, and soft speckled blotches that give it a camouflage-like appearance. Supported by dramatic bluish-black stems, this plant makes a striking statement in any collection.
Growing up to 2 to 4 feet tall, Hilo Beauty thrives in bright, humid conditions and adds a bold, tropical vibe to your space. As with many Alocasias, it’s very sensitive to cold, so it’s best suited for warm, indoor environments.
