Alocasia lauterbachiana – Purple Sword “Green Destiny” (Small)

“Green Destiny” is a Alocasia lauterbachiana ‘Purple Sword’—a plant recently adopted by Dyanna, a kindred grower whose care and curiosity always bring out the best in her plants. I’m eager to see this one grow; the mix of deep green and metallic purple hues is mesmerizing, even more so when light grazes its blade-like leaves. It’s a plant that feels both regal and mysterious, like it carries stories in every vein.

Native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia and New Guinea, Alocasia lauterbachiana ‘Purple Sword’ is admired for its sculptural, upright form and resilient nature. Its narrow leaves shift from deep green above to plum-purple below, creating a vivid interplay of light and shadow. Under Dyanna’s care, “Green Destiny” will no doubt thrive—unfolding like a living artwork of patience and dedication.
