Alocasia Scalprum Tricolor Corm
Alocasia Scalprum Tricolor is a collector form associated with narrow, sculptural blades with a textured surface and potentially multiple green, pale and creamy tones. It is offered as a live corm for propagation, allowing you to observe its development from early roots to new foliage.
Reference photographs show the potential appearance of the named variety and do not represent the mature plant being shipped.
IMPORTANT — THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE LIVE CORM You are purchasing one live Alocasia Scalprum Tricolor corm, not the mature plant pictured. Size, shape, rooting stage, rate of growth and eventual variegation vary.
What Makes Alocasia Scalprum Tricolor Distinctive
The sword-like narrow leaves and surface texture associated with Scalprum give multitone variegation a distinctive appearance. The name is used for a horticultural or collector selection associated with Alocasia scalprum; the variegation label should not be confused with a separate botanical species.
Every corm-grown plant is individual. A first leaf may carry a very different pattern from later leaves, and some plants may show little visible variegation.

What to Expect From a Corm
A corm may arrive with a small visible growth point, early roots or no visible roots. Natural differences in surface texture, size and stage are expected.
Sprouting is affected by warmth, access to oxygen, moisture and the condition of the corm; a particular sprouting date or finished variegation pattern cannot be guaranteed.
Starting Your Alocasia Scalprum Tricolor Corm
Begin in a clean container with the growth point facing upward where identifiable. Keep the corm lightly moist while avoiding stagnant, saturated conditions.
Common options include shallow-water or puddle rooting, perlite, LECA, sphagnum moss, water propagation and a chunky aroid mix. Choose a method suited to careful observation and maintain stable warmth and gentle air exchange.
Once active roots and leaves develop, gradually acclimate the young plant to its preferred growing medium. For detailed methods, visit the Alocasia Corm Care Guide.
Mature Appearance
Mature leaves can appear narrow, somewhat elongated and textured. The horticultural 'Tricolor' description refers to variable multitone coloration, not an exact guaranteed pattern.
Young plants can differ substantially from established mother plants. Reference photos explain the general foliage form and possible coloration, not what every corm will produce.
Explore comparable forms in our Alocasia Varieties A–Z directory.
