Alocasia 'Portadora' is a herbaceous perennial grown for its impressive and lush foliage. The mid-green leaves are glossy, heart-shaped, and very showy. It typically grows to 1.5 m tall and 1.2 m wide, performing best when positioned on a well-drained, frost free, sheltered site in full sun or partial shade. It may die back in winter but will generally regrow again in the spring. ‘Portadora’ is commonly used in mixed plantings, maintained in a container, added to tropical gardens, planted around outdoor living areas such as pools and the like, or mass planted around the base of larger trees and shrubs.
