Botanical description

Alocasia micholitziana 'Frydek', known as 'Frydek variegata' when the leaves become variegated. Alocasia micholiziana originates from the Philippines. The variegated version was originally discovered with yellow spots but now the white variegated variety has become more popular.

What is variegation?

When a plant is variegated, it means that certain parts of the plant lack chlorophyll. It is a genetic, often naturally occurring mutation. Alocasia also has a tendency for this mutation in in vitro cultivation, which has led to an explosion of different varieties. All with their unique patterns and colors.

Care

Place your Alocasia frydek variegata in bright, indirect light. The white, variegated part of the leaves has less chlorophyll and therefore requires more light to photosynthesize efficiently. General Alocasia care guidelines apply, with a porous and well-draining soil mix that should always be slightly moist. We recommend using our peat-free soil and a well-draining orchid pot for best results.
