The Alocasia Heart Balloon is a beautiful and unique variety of Alocasia, known for its distinctive heart-shaped leaves that have a soft, light green color with a glossy texture. The plant gets its name from the balloon-like appearance of the leaves as they begin to unfurl. It’s a charming addition to any indoor plant collection. Here’s how to care for it:
Care Instructions:
• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant, healthy leaves. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to scorch.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Make sure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidity tray or humidifier to maintain moisture in the air.
• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 80°F (18°C - 27°C).
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one with perlite, orchid bark, or peat, to ensure proper root health and moisture retention.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
Pet Safety: Toxic to pets, so keep out of reach of animals.
The Alocasia Heart Balloon is a stunning and relatively easy-to-care-for Alocasia variety that adds a unique touch with its heart-shaped, glossy leaves. Its attractive foliage and relatively manageable care needs make it an ideal choice for plant lovers looking to add an exotic touch to their home.

This class was awesome ! It was a free for all with creativeness ! My piece turned out so cute, and I had such a good time chatting with everyone during the class ! Would go again!!!
I ordered online and had it shipped to me (other side of the state). Even though it was snowing when it arrived, it was in perfect condition, no shipping or temperature stress at all. Very well packaged. Thank you!
Beautiful plant, arrived pretty quick, well insulated and healthy! Love it! 🥰
I unalived a Hoya Compacta years ago and had wanted another one. This lil babe is happy, healthy and thriving. Another beauty from B&B!
My friend and I had a great time! I feel the price we paid was fair based on all the work and time put into organizing it. The prizes were perfect!
I'd never heard of this plant, but he was so cute I had to have him. He loves his little macrame hanger near the grow light and vaporizer. So sweet!
Love this cute, affordable planter that I bought. Cute gnome design and fits my plant perfectly.
I love ferns and was thrilled to see this unusual variety. He's so full, bouncy and happy! Another great new planty friend from B and B! 🪴
He's another special, happy and healthy plant baby from Blossom and Branch! I love this adorable shop: they have lovely, healthy plants and unusual varieties, the owner and staff are super nice and knowledgeable, and the prices are very t reasonable. Can't wait until my next visit.
Shyla and the Blossom and Branch crew have been the best for all of my plant needs, wants and obsession creation. I have learned so much and found that I CAN take care of plants. The classes are not only informative but very fun! Not only have I brought plants into my home, when it came time for incorporating plants in our office renovation Shyla helped me know which would be best in the spaces. Highly recommend B&B for all plant needs!
