Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince'

Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince' has narrow, vein-marked leaves with dark green upper surfaces and purple-toned details on some growth. Pale veins, upright petioles, and pointed blades give the plant a clear longiloba profile.

Like other longiloba Alocasia, it grows from a rhizomatous base and forms upright petioles with pointed leaves. Warmth, filtered light, steady moisture, and higher humidity during unfurling keep new growth cleaner.

Dark leaves with purple-toned details

  • Leaf shape: Sagittate to narrow blades create the long, pointed outline typical of longiloba Alocasia.
  • Upper surface: Dark green leaf tissue gives strong contrast to the pale main veins.
  • Colour detail: Purple tones may appear on the underside, petioles, or new growth depending on the individual plant.
  • Growth base: The rhizomatous base prefers an airy, well-drained substrate.
  • New growth: Fresh leaves can be sensitive while unfurling and may mark if humidity is low or the plant is stressed.

Petioles, colour, and leaf development

Alocasia longiloba is known for variable leaf shape and colour, including dark upper surfaces, pale veins, and purple-toned undersides in some forms. On 'Purple Prince', the purple detail may appear on the visible leaf underside, petiole, or new growth.

The leaves are held on upright petioles from a compact rhizomatous base. Indoors, the plant responds best to filtered light, warm roots, and a potting mix that keeps moisture available while allowing air through the root zone.

Care for Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince'

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Direct sun can burn thin leaf areas and mark the pale veins.
  • Watering: Water once the upper substrate begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain fully.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix that keeps the rhizome aerated between waterings.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps narrow new leaves open with fewer creases and dry edges.
  • Warmth: Keep the plant away from cold draughts and cold wet substrate.
  • Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently when needed, as mites often settle on stressed Alocasia foliage.

Stress signs on purple-toned leaves

  • Stuck new leaves: Low humidity or root stress can cause new leaves to crease, tear, or open unevenly.
  • Brown edges: Thin leaf sections can dry after low humidity, direct sun, or irregular watering.
  • Fading older leaves: One older leaf fading can be normal, but repeated yellowing points to wet, cold, or damaged roots.
  • Soft base: A soft rhizome area needs immediate attention to substrate moisture and drainage.
  • Pests: Spider mites and thrips can cause speckling, scarring, and distorted new growth.

Safety

Alocasia longiloba 'Purple Prince' is not pet-safe. It contains insoluble calcium oxalates that can irritate the mouth, throat, and stomach if ingested, so keep it away from pets and children.

Botanical background and origin

Alocasia longiloba is an accepted Araceae species first published by Miquel in 1856 in Flora van Nederlandsch Indie. The genus name Alocasia was formed in relation to Colocasia, a closely allied aroid genus, while the epithet “longiloba” means long-lobed and refers to the extended leaf lobes. The species occurs from southern China to western and central Malesia in wet tropical habitats.

Summer wedding kids suit
Color: Navy, Size: 10 Years, Color: Navy, Size: 10 Years
Bought this suit for my son in the 10 youth size and honestly was pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price. The navy color looks sharp and dressy without being too stiff or uncomfortable. The material has a little stretch, which helped it fit nicely and made it comfortable for him to move around in. The adjustable waist was a huge plus, especially for growing kids. It fit true to size overall, though the blazer sleeves were slightly long on my son. The pants had a nice slim look without being too tight. We paired it with white sneakers for a more modern look and it came out adorable. This would be perfect for weddings, graduations, concerts, communion, school events, or family photos. Overall, very happy with the purchase and would definitely buy again.

Very Modern Handsome Suit
Color: Grey, Size: 7 Years, Color: Grey, Size: 7 Years
This is an incredibly sharp looking suit for the little guy. Great price and features, too. I made a mistake in sizing up instead of down and first one was too sloppy on him and would need alterations. He is thin and very thin in the waist. There is a lot of adjustment with buttons in waistband and coat hides the bunching. This shirt and coat will easily take a fuller body than slim I believe. He loves posing in it and feels very classy. Best purchase for a formal suit that will last longer than most kids clothes size wise. Felt bad about returning but careful folding and packing got it good as new.

Sharp Looking Kids Suit With One Missing Piece
Color: Navy, Size: 7 Years, Color: Navy, Size: 7 Years
I ordered this suit for my 6yo son in a size 7 so he would have a little room to grow and get more wear out of it, and sizing is perfect. He did not need it for any specific occasion, he just wanted a suit because apparently kindergarteners sometimes wake up and decide they are businessmen now. Let me start with the positives because there are a lot of them. This is a very well made suit. The jacket, pants, and dress shirt are all surprisingly nice quality. The fabric does not feel cheap or flimsy at all. The jacket has good structure, the buttons are well attached, the seams are clean, and all the little details like the collar and pockets look great. It honestly looks like a proper little formal suit. The pants are nicely made as well and pair perfectly with the jacket. The white dress shirt underneath is also good quality and completes the whole look. Overall, it is a really sharp outfit and would absolutely work for special occasions like weddings, recitals, formal events, church, or family photos. Now for the reason I am deducting one star. The listing specifically shows and mentions that this set includes a bow tie. That was actually the main reason I chose this particular suit over others. Some options only had a standard tie or no tie at all, but my son specifically wanted a bow tie. Unfortunately, the bow tie was not included with mine. That was definitely disappointing because it was one of the main selling points for me when choosing this set. Now I have to go find a separate bow tie that matches, which I was hoping to avoid. That said, I do want to be clear that this issue does not take away from the actual quality of the suit itself. The suit is genuinely very well made and looks fantastic on him. If your child needs a suit for a wedding, formal event, recital, or something similar, this would absolutely work. My son mostly just wanted a suit because he thinks it is cool, so now he has one and can show up to school looking like the smallest CEO in kindergarten. Overall, this is a very nice quality suit set. I just wish the bow tie that was advertised had actually been included.
