If you're not afraid of eBay, I believe it's generally available there. I actually found one that I *think* might be 'Kapit' that I bought in the little tropical/house plant section at my local Lowe's (where they have the little Angels Exotics tropicals, bromeliads, and such). I'd never seen it there before and I've never seen it since and I bought the only pot they had. It was a single pot with 4 little plants in it, so I separated them, put 3 in the ground and potted the 4th. All of them promptly melted away, but all are veerrrryyyyy ssslllooowwwllllyyy trying to re-establish themselves. They're all tiny plants at this point - no more than a few inches tall, and seemingly very touchy. Very much the finicky temperament of the "jewel alocasias"!!
