Alocasia sinuata, commonly known as Quilted Dreams, is a perennial herb endemic to the karst limestone forests of Samar, Leyte, and parts of Mindanao in the Philippines. It is a critically endangered species due to its limited distribution and habitat destruction. Quilted Dreams typically grows under the canopy of larger trees, thriving in the humid and shaded conditions of the forest understory. This Alocasia reaches a modest height of 1-2 feet (30-60 cm) with a similar spread and is noted for its distinctive, quilted, velvety leaves that are dark green with prominent veins, giving it a textured appearance.

In cultivation, Alocasia sinuata is primarily grown as a houseplant or in tropical greenhouse settings due to its ornamental foliage and preference for warm, humid environments. It requires consistently moist, well-draining soil and benefits from high humidity and indirect light, mimicking its native forest floor habitat. While it is not typically used in outdoor landscaping in temperate regions, it can be a striking addition to shaded tropical gardens. Care should be taken to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. It is also susceptible to common houseplant pests such as spider mites and mealybugs.CC BY-SA 4.0
