The African Mask Plant, belonging to the genus Alocasia and Araceae family, is an aroid plant known for its striking elephant ear-shaped leaves. Native to tropical forests, it thrives in humid environments with bright indirect light, well-draining soil, and regular watering. Its rhizomes store water, ensuring survival during dry spells. As an air-purifying plant, it releases oxygen and removes toxins from the air. Propagation techniques include rhizome division, root cuttings, and tissue culture. Common pests include spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids, while diseases like root rot and fungal leaf spot require prompt management. Due to its exotic foliage, it is a coveted houseplant and an excellent choice for tropical gardens and aroid collections.
