Mythic Nairobi Night Elephant Ear

MYTHIC™ Nairobi Night is a Leafjoy® selection of Alocasia baginda, grown for glossy, deep-green arrowhead leaves with large white veins and contrasting pink petioles. The branded care guide describes a clumping tropical houseplant for bright indirect light, warmth, and high humidity. ## Identity and size The [Leafjoy selling guide](https://admin.provenwinners.com/sites/provenwinners.com/files/catalogs_pdfs/leafjoysellinggroups.pdf) lists Nairobi Night under Alocasia baginda in the Mythic™ series. Kew accepts A. baginda in the Araceae and records the species from wet tropical Kalimantan. Two retail profiles for this exact selection give a mature height of 12–36 inches; the named selection’s brand catalog does not provide a spread, so allow the clump room to widen as it grows. ## Growing conditions Give it medium-bright indirect light, such as near an east- or west-facing window, with gentle morning or late-day sun if available. The care guide recommends 60–85°F and high humidity. Use an indoor potting mix amended for drainage; keep it evenly moist but never wet, letting roughly the top inch dry before watering again. ## Maintenance Feed monthly at half strength while it is actively growing. Keep the pot draining freely and avoid leaving it in standing water. Maintain steady warmth, humidity, and moisture, since abrupt changes can lead to leaf loss.
