Alocasia 'Jacklyn' (also referred to as Alocasia tandurusa or Alocasia sulawesi) is a tropical perennial in the Araceae family. Its informal name, 'Jacklyn', comes from the plant hobbyist who helped introduce it to a wider audience.
The plant's standout feature is its extraordinary leaves. They are deeply lobed and almost antler-like or jagged, giving it the local name Alocasia tanduk rusa (deer antlers). The vibrant green leaves are adorned with dramatic, dark, nearly black, or purplish-green veins that create a stunning, high-contrast pattern. The texture is often described as velvety or slightly textured.
This alocasia plant is considered a relatively fast grower under optimal conditions (warmth, high humidity, and sufficient light), particularly during the spring and summer growing season.
