Alocasia 'Venom' is a rare, highly sought-after collector plant prized for its dramatic, reptilian appearance. It emerged around 2019 as a spontaneous mutation of Alocasia 'Amazonica'. Discovered by Mason Lee of Mason Plants in South Korea, its menacingly elongated, curling, fang-like leaf tips resemble the Marvel comic character Venom.

The "Venom" Tip: The defining feature is a dramatically long, downward-curling drip tip
Foliage Metamorphosis: Young seedlings or tissue cultures resemble regular Alocasia. The signature mutation typically appears after the 6th or 7th leaf.  (this is why I ALWAYS have a '7 leaf rule' for all of my personal plants!)
Texture & Color: Shield-shaped leaves feature a lightly puckered, bubbly texture with softly undulating margins. Unlike many plants, the foliage lightens into a matte, silvery-green finish as it matures rather than darkening
Lineage: Because it is a sport mutation of Alocasia 'Amazonica', its historical heritage traces back to a hybrid of Alocasia sanderiana (the Kris plant) and Alocasia longiloba 'Watsoniana'

The Alocasia 'Purpley' is a striking, highly sought-after color mutation clone of the classic Alocasia × amazonica (African Mask Plant). Originally discovered by grower Bill Rotolante in a batch of tissue culture liners, this plant stands out because its emergent new leaves unfurl with an all-over, bright metallic purple or violet tint on the top side. How it Differs From a Standard 'Polly' or 'Amazonica' While a regular Alocasia Amazonica features dark forest-green leaves with a purple underside, the 'Purpley' takes the pigmentation a step further. [1, 2] The Purple Cycle: Newly emerged leaves have a distinct purple hue covering the entire upper surface. Maturation: As the leaves harden off and age, the bright purple surface color gradually fades into a deep, nearly-black green with a metallic sheen. Undersides: The backsides of the arrow-shaped leaves permanently retain their deep, rich maroon-purple coloring
