Alocasia Frydek is a stunning variegated elephant ear variety. This is the variegated form of the more common Alocasia micholitziana. The leaves are green with white contrasting veins and random spots of variegation throughout.

Alocasia Frydek tends to stay more compact when grown as an indoor plant. However, if grown outside this plant will grow large leaves and can reach heights of up to 5'!

Caring for your new Alocasia Frydek is simple. Alocasia prefer a well draining soil rich in organic matter. Allow your Alocasia to dry out slightly between watering. Bright indirect light is preferred, but they will also grow nicely under lower light.

Additional information:

Alocasia is a genus of plants in the Aroid family native to many parts of Asia including but not limited to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Australia.

There are at least 90 officially recognized Alocasia species, with more discovered and properly named every year. Alocasia come in all sizes, from small to large. Jewel types like Black Velvet tend to stay on the bushier, more compact side.

Alocasia are rhizomatous or tuberous and self reproduce from corms.

Alocasia can go dormant during the cooler months, so try to provide your plant with temperatures above 50deg to ensure that they stay happy and healthy during this period.

Beautiful plant

I'm newish to plants. This is the most expensive plant I have bought and the first time buying a plant online and having it shipped through the mail. I was nervous... but it arrived early and was packaged great. I have had a new leaf already and it's doing good. Hopefully I can keep it alive :)

Perfection

I love canopy plants! Extremely fast shipping. Ordered it on a Wednesday, shipped out the same day, and received it Friday morning. This review is 5 days after I received the plant. This plant is absolutely gorgeous. It took a couple days to straight up out of the box and then it still had slight leaf crinkles. No big deal. I took the risk of repotting it into PON knowing this can shock the plant and that I shouldn’t repot it so soon but I really wanted it into the new substrate. After doing so, a couple days later and this plant completely straightened out its leaves are is SUPER happy and GORGEOUS! Its even unfurling a new leaf! I couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase. Than you!
