Alocasia Black Stem 2 Live Starter Plants – Soil Pods – Alocasia ‘Black Stem’

This listing includes 2 Alocasia ‘Black Stem’ live starter plants with established root systems. These young tropical foliage plants are distinguished by their contrasting foliage and characteristically dark-colored stems.

The plants are currently growing in a tray and will be shipped in soil pods rather than nursery pots. Each soil pod will be carefully wrapped for transit. You will receive starter plants similar to those pictured rather than the exact specimens shown.

Individual plants naturally vary in leaf count, stem coloration, foliage size, density, and overall appearance. As an Alocasia, the plant has a rhizomatous growth habit and may experience foliage stress during shipping.

Shipping Clarification: The generic 2-inch/bare-root notice conflicts with the product-specific information. This listing specifically states that these plants are currently growing in a tray and will ship in soil pods. Therefore, they should not be advertised as arriving in 2-inch nursery pots or completely bare root.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Alocasia Shipping Disclosure: Alocasia foliage can be sensitive to packing and transit. Leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or partial defoliation may occur during shipping, so foliage condition upon arrival may differ from the listing photos.

Customer Notice:

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:

• Photos of the shipping box
• Photo of the shipping label
• Clear photos of the plant from multiple angles
• Scratch test photos if the plant appears dead or dormant

Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.

Claims submitted without required photos may not be eligible for review.

Claims submitted more than 48 hours after delivery will be considered accepted as received and may not be eligible for replacement or refund.
