Alocasia Metallic Blue 2 Exact Live Starter Plants – Alocasia ‘Metallic Blue’

This listing includes 2 Alocasia Metallic Blue live starter plants. These are specifically small starter plants, not mature specimens. Alocasia Metallic Blue is a tropical ornamental aroid grown for its distinctive foliage, prominent veining, and unusual coloration.

The plants have an established root system but are associated with the seller's 2-inch starter format and are not fully established into the temporary 2-inch nursery pots. The product-specific information states that the plants are shipped in soil pods, and the pods should not be removed or disturbed immediately upon arrival. The 2-inch nursery pots are not included.

Alocasia can be sensitive to shipping and may experience partial or substantial leaf loss during transit or shortly after arrival. These plants grow from underground rhizomatous structures, so foliage condition can change independently of the condition of the underlying plant. The actual specimens may naturally vary from the listing photographs in leaf count, foliage coloration, veining, root structure, and overall appearance.

The generic shipping notice also states that plants ship bare root, which conflicts with the product-specific soil-pod statement. Final soil-pod versus bare-root shipping condition should be verified before publishing.

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.

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.
