Alocasia ‘Green Pegasus’

(Alocasia azlanii x Alocasia chaii) by Lindsay Sisti of All the Plant Babies

Similar to Alocasia ‘Green Unicorn,’ Green Pegasus has leaves which are glabrous and glossy, greenish white abaxial veins and margins are light yellow green. It differs by having much longer and often broader leaves, likely influenced by the Alocasia chaii parentage.

Another distinguishing characteristic is the lightly mottled petioles, which are also found in Alocasia chaii (Alocasia 'Green Unicorn' takes after Alocasia azlanii and has smooth green petioles).

It requires higher humidity to thrive than does Alocasia ‘Green Unicorn’ due to the parents being chaii and azlanii (chair requires high humidity) .
