🌱 Growing Alocasia Azlanii in a Transparent Iced Coffee Cup
Tissue Culture Plant Kit from Sejong Botanical Garden
In early 2024, I came across a unique tissue culture plant kit at the Sejong National Botanical Garden’s gardening shop. Inside a sealed glass bottle was a tiny, living plant—a mysterious and beautiful specimen called Alocasia azlanii.
🧪 Fascinated by a Plant in a Flask
The kit featured a companion plant grown via tissue culture, and I was instantly drawn to it. It was like holding a tiny jungle world in your hands. After bringing it home, I followed the provided instructions for transplanting.
I chose a transparent iced coffee cup as a humidity dome. For the first few weeks, the plant adjusted slowly. But to my surprise, it thrived with minimal water and just LED grow lights. Within two and a half months, the leaves grew too large for the cup.
🧪 Repotting and Growth
Once the cup became too cramped, I moved the Alocasia into a larger pot and transferred the flask it came in to a bigger container as well. Its new home now provides more space, ventilation, and access to indirect light.
Even now, I only mist occasionally and avoid overwatering. It seems to enjoy stable humidity and light more than anything else.
🍃 Mysterious Beauty of Alocasia Azlanii
One of the reasons I love this plant is its appearance:
- The leaves shimmer with a hidden purple hue, especially when viewed from different angles.
- Its translucent stems give it an ethereal, almost fantasy-like quality.
This experience has given me a new appreciation for tissue culture kits—perfect for plant lovers who enjoy watching growth unfold gradually.
