Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’, sometimes referred to as Alocasia tigrina ‘Jacklyn’, is a rare and extraordinary tropical plant that has quickly become a collector’s favourite. A native of Indonesia and a member of the Araceae family, this striking species is prized for its deeply lobed, arrow-shaped leaves and unique, textured veins that create an exotic, sculptural presence.

The large leaves are a rich emerald green with prominent dark, almost black venation, giving them a dramatic, contrasting appearance. The surface is slightly matte and textured, with a velvety feel that enhances its tropical allure. The petioles (stems) are just as fascinating — patterned with tiger-like markings in green and brown tones, adding an extra layer of visual intrigue.

Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ perfectly balances elegance and wild beauty, making it one of the most distinctive statement plants for indoor spaces, terrariums, or warm conservatories.


Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too little light may lead to slower growth and smaller leaves, while harsh direct sunlight can burn the leaf surface. East- or north-facing rooms are ideal, or use sheer curtains to diffuse light.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry, allowing excess water to drain freely. Like most Alocasias, ‘Jacklyn’ dislikes standing water. In winter, reduce watering and allow the soil to dry slightly more between waterings.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth, ideally 20–28°C. Avoid draughts and temperatures below 16°C.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity (60–80%). Mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or run a humidifier to prevent leaf crisping and to encourage lush growth.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix — peat-free compost blended with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works best. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and allow root expansion.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser. Avoid overfeeding, as this can cause root burn and reduce the intensity of the foliage’s colour contrast.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove any yellowing or older leaves at the base to keep the plant healthy and encourage new growth. Clean the leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and highlight their beautiful texture and pattern.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate grower, typically reaching 60–90 cm tall indoors. Mature plants develop larger, more dramatically lobed leaves and thicker, tiger-striped petioles. When happy, it will produce new leaves regularly during the growing season.

Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Brown leaf edges: Low humidity or irregular watering.

  • Drooping leaves: Temporary stress from repotting or environmental changes.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs — wipe leaves regularly and maintain humidity to deter them.

Background and Benefits

Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ was first discovered in Sulawesi, Indonesia, and is believed to be a naturally occurring mutation of Alocasia portei. Its wild aesthetic and bold venation have made it one of the most recognisable Alocasias among plant collectors.

Beyond its stunning appearance, it also contributes to a sense of tranquillity and nature in interior spaces. With proper warmth, humidity, and care, it rewards growers with large, sculptural foliage that exudes pure tropical drama.

Great quality jacket
On stage presentation in this jacket was fabulous. Great quality. He did have to buy a larger size to get the sleeve length but a tailor fixed the shoulder to a perfect fit. Will buy again in another color.

JUST LIKE THE PIC! Gold to black gradient! Perfect!
We bought black and gold, gradient, small. Son is 5’7”, 145lbs and this is perfect on him! Some people say it looks nothing like the pic, couple of the pics do look awry…and I almost didn’t make my purchase based on that pic! I am soooo glad I did, ours looks exactly like the pic with a nice gradient from gold to black. If you are turned away by the one not so great pic, I say buy it, ours is perfect just like the pic! Great fit! Awesome lapel! Love this jacket!

Terrible product
I have bought other sequin jackets from this brand that I absolutely LOVE ! The colors on all of them have always been a little off from the pictures but in a good way, they are more subtle beautiful hues and expensive designer looking. This jacket however is total trash! The colors are bright and obnoxious unlike the picture, and the quality is HORRIBLE! The fabric is so thin and stiff you can’t move at all in it, it feels like you’re trying to wear a cardboard jacket covered in cheap glitter that was glued on. I ordered the exact same size as the previous ones I’ve bought and this one I can’t even get the button to come close to closing, the sizing is very off and runs extremely small, while my other ones I have still fit perfectly so it isn’t me that has changed size.So disappointed because of how much I love my other ones, I really wanted to love this one too.
