Alocasia longiloba  is a popular ornamental plant in China, however pests and diseases associated with  A. longiloba  reduce the ornamental value of this plant. From 2016 to 2021, stem and root rot has been observed on  A. longiloba  in Guangdong Province, China. Once the disease became severe, plants wilted and died. A fungus was isolated from the diseased stem and identified as  Fusarium elaeidis  using both morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit ( rpb2 ), translation elongation factor-1α ( tef1 ) gene and β-tubulin ( tub2 ) sequence data. The pathogenicity test showed the fungus was able to produce typical symptoms on  A. longiloba  similar to those observed in the field. The original pathogen was reisolated from inoculated plants fulfilling Koch’s postulates. This is the first report of  Fusarium elaeidis  causing stem rot on  A. longiloba . These results will provide a baseline to identify and control diseases associated with  A. longiloba .
