The Alocasia Cucullata, affectionately known as Buddha’s Palm, is a striking tropical plant with a sculptural quality that makes it a favourite among collectors and designers alike. What sets this variety apart is its thick, swollen trunks — reminiscent of bonsai trees — which support a canopy of glossy, heart-shaped leaves that gently sway with the air.

Size
Supplied in a 12cm nursery pot, approx. 40cm tall on arrival. It’s a compact plant with big impact — easy to style on shelves, sideboards, or desktops.

Native Habitat and Growth Patterns
In the wild, Alocasia cucullata grows in the humid, shaded understories of Southeast Asian forests. It clings to life in warm, moist environments, forming a thickened base to store water during dry spells — which is where those unusual trunks come from. The leaf stems rise neatly from the base, creating a natural “fountain” effect that’s both elegant and practical in the jungle and at home.

Styling at Home
Those bonsai-like trunks are begging to be shown off. Try placing your Alocasia Cucullata in a low ceramic bowl or wide planter where its chunky base can take centre stage. It looks fantastic in both modern and traditional interiors — from minimalist apartments to heritage townhouses. It’s especially beautiful when paired with soft-leaved trailing plants or other sculptural forms like Ficus or Dracaena.

Care Requirements
Surprisingly easy-going for an Alocasia:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best. A few hours of morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh afternoon rays.

  • Water: Let the top layer of soil dry out slightly between waterings. Never let it sit in water.

  • Humidity: Loves a humid spot — perfect for bathrooms or kitchens, or mist regularly.

  • Feeding: Feed once a month during the growing season with our Organic Tropical Plant Food to support healthy leaves and trunk development.

Why Choose This Plant
The Alocasia Cucullata brings a sense of peace and order to your plant collection. Its thick base and elegant form feel timeless — like a living sculpture that rewards quiet observation. Whether you’re a bonsai lover or simply after something that feels grounded and meditative, this is a perfect choice.

Interesting Facts

  • In its native Thailand, this plant is often grown around Buddhist temples, where it’s said to bring good luck and calm.

  • The swollen “trunks” act as water reservoirs — an adaptation that makes it more resilient than fussier Alocasias.

I have special needs so, please read my review.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
Edit I decided to wear it inside under my clothes as a liner, it shrank too short so not it is uncomfortable to tuck in after I hand washed and dried on delicate until half dry and hung. I will start for anyone that need a soft first layer try this shirt, it fits nicely and it doesn't pull under my arms, I have larger bust measurements compared to by rib cage. It is soft out of the bag and first wash came out nice ,( hand wash) The shirt is a perfect thickness for me! I loved it so much, EXCEPT for the inner arm seam, I so wish the arms were seamless, it was painful for ME, I have Fibromyalgia and this felt like torture by the end of the day, this was too bad for me because otherwise the shirt is GOLD. Buy the shirt I am going to try to scrub the seam and see if I can soften it up a bit . Maybe this company has a seamless version, I would love to know this.. I cannot comment of durability and washability,

My favorite undershirt with boleros & crop tops
Color: Black, Size: Small
Not overly thick or thin - it’s just right for staying warm and wearing under crop tops and boleros. Form fitting but not uncomfortably snug. Great quality! I now own 3 and might get one more since I bought a bunch of new crop tops and boleros.

Buy at least 2 sizes bigger than you need.
Color: Heather Grey, Size: Large, Color: Heather Grey, Size: Large
These shirts are pretty soft, you can tell they are different from other shirts boasting natural fibers. They don't compare to the thin or drape from onno shirts but its less than half the cost. I have ordered 3 more, but with that being said... the shrinkage was unreasonable. The shirt lost 4 FULL inches in length and a little over an inch in width. Now, taking into consideration that I am a full grown hobbit this shirt is unsuitable for anyone over 5ft tall. I this would literally be a crop top on a average size adult and it is a large! I'm going to test out 2 other styles and the xl in this shirt but holy cow i really want to wear it because it's thin and will protect me from the sun but it's way too small now. I really hate the feeling of dry fit uv protection clothing, and this is so much better. Just wish I could wear it and didn't waste 20 bucks washing a shirt I can only wear in the comfort of my own home in fear of being arrested for indecent exposure. I would estimate shrinkage is more than one size.
