Alocasia Frydek Variegated (Variegated Green Velvet)

Introducing the ultra-rare Variegated Alocasia Frydek - a true collector's dream! This extraordinary plant takes the already stunning Green Velvet Alocasia to the next level with mesmerizing cream and white variegation splashed across its velvety dark green leaves.

Why This Plant is Special:

• Extremely rare variegated form with unique cream, white, and green patterns

• Luxurious velvet texture combined with striking white veining
• Dramatic arrow-shaped leaves create an instant focal point
• Highly sought-after by plant collectors worldwide

Care Instructions:

Light: Requires bright, indirect light to maintain variegation. Too little light may cause the plant to revert to solid green. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch delicate variegated areas. East-facing windows are ideal.

Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry, typically every 5-7 days in growing season. Variegated plants can be more sensitive to overwatering, so ensure excellent drainage.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (70-80%). Use a humidifier, mist regularly, or place on a pebble tray. Low humidity can cause brown leaf edges, especially on variegated portions.

Temperature: Prefers warm, stable temperatures between 65-80°F. Protect from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and sudden temperature changes.

Soil: Use a well-draining, chunky mix. Combine peat moss, perlite, orchid bark, and a small amount of activated charcoal for optimal drainage and aeration.

Fertilizer: Feed every 2-3 weeks during spring and summer with diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce to monthly in fall and skip winter feeding during dormancy.

Important Care Notes:

• Variegated sections have less chlorophyll and are more delicate - handle with extra care
• Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to maintain their velvety appearance
• May go dormant in winter and lose leaves - this is normal, continue minimal watering
• Variegation is unstable and may vary from leaf to leaf
• Protect from pests as variegated plants can be more susceptible

This is not a beginner plant - the Variegated Alocasia Frydek requires attentive care and a stable environment. However, for experienced plant parents and collectors, the reward is an absolutely breathtaking living work of art that will be the crown jewel of any collection.

Please note: Due to the nature of variegation, each plant is unique and patterns may vary from photos shown.
