Alocasia frydek is a species of elephant ear that has eye catching white veined green leaves with a very velvety texture.

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

Caring for your new plant 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.

Little disappointed

Little bummed about the shape of this alocasia, full on yellow droopy leave. Another leaf has white spots and starting to yellow. I know shipping is stressful on plants but I had high hopes it would be in good condition being as other reviews have posted beautiful plants. I did order another plant and that one is gorgeous, healthy and happy but this one is not. Shipping was pretty quick and everything was packed nicely. I’d order again but maybe not an Alocasia.

I’m In Love!

I was initially nervous about ordering plants online, but Canopy Plant Co. did not disappoint. The plant came in great packaging, perfect condition and very healthy. Not to mention, the prices for these plants are some of the lowest and they’re extremely fair for the value. I will continue to build my collection through them.

Plant grew like crazy!

When I received my plant it was 3 leaves. It has taken OFF since I’ve had it. I’ve had to up pot twice already since February. Canopy always has nice and healthy plants. Thank you !
