Care

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.

Alocasia Frydek Variegated

I am in awe of how beautiful this plant is. It looks very well cared for and had a lot of variegation. I next day air due to extreme temperatures where I live and they packaged all the plants carefully with a heat pack and Styrofoam to ensure the plants stay warm and safe during travel. I had one droopy leaf due to travel stress but it's happily adjusting in my warm bathroom with a humidifier and supplemental light. I'm slightly concerned about how much white it has and whether it can photosynthesis with the little green it has but hoping the extra light on a lower setting helps.

Hey Christina,

We are thrilled to see that your Alocaisia Frydek Variegated was received in such great condition. It is a beautiful plant, and that one has especially stunning variegation. We take great care in packaging our plants for shipping, especially during extreme temperatures. It's normal for plants to experience some stress during travel, but we're happy to hear that your plant is adjusting well. We also think it is a smart move to give the plant extra hummidity and light. This should help keep that beautiful variegation pattern.
