Red Machera
Red Machera, also known as Alocasia macrorrhiza ‘Red Star’ or Red Machera, is a striking tropical plant prized for its dramatic foliage and bold appearance. Native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia, this plant features large, arrow-shaped leaves with vibrant red undersides and dark green, glossy tops, creating a stunning visual contrast. Red Machera typically grows to about 3 to 6 feet in height and spreads out with a lush, full canopy, making it a standout choice for both indoor and outdoor settings. It thrives in well-draining, rich soil and prefers bright, indirect light to partial shade. Regular watering is crucial, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy, and occasional feeding during the growing season supports its vigorous growth. With its eye-catching foliage and robust nature, Red Machera adds a touch of tropical elegance and drama to any garden or indoor space. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer high-quality Red Machera plants to elevate your space with their unique beauty.
