Alocasia Micholitziana Frydek Variegated

Botanical Name: Alocasia Micholitziana Frydek variegata

Common Name(s): Variegated Green Velvet Alocasia, Variegated Elephant Ear

The Alocasia Micholitziana Frydek Variegated is a rare and visually captivating plant known for its velvety, deep green leaves adorned with creamy white and minty variegation. Much like its non-variegated counterpart, this variety showcases prominent white veins that stand out against the rich, velvet-textured foliage. The added marbled variegation makes each leaf uniquely patterned, adding an extra level of sophistication and intrigue. With its compact size and dramatic appearance, the Frydek Variegated is perfect for collectors and a standout addition to any indoor jungle.

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its bold variegation. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as its delicate leaves are prone to scorching. Ideal temperature ranges are between 65-80°F (18-27°C), and high humidity is essential to keep the leaves lush and healthy. It does especially well in spaces with consistent moisture, such as bathrooms, or when placed near a humidifier. Low humidity can cause browning leaf tips and leaf curl, so regular misting or a humidity tray may be necessary.

The Alocasia Frydek Variegated prefers well-aerated, moisture-retentive soil that drains efficiently. Water when the top inch of soil becomes dry, allowing excess water to drain freely. Be careful not to overwater, as this plant is susceptible to root rot if left sitting in soggy soil. Like many Alocasias, it can be sensitive to changes in environment or watering inconsistencies, and may occasionally go dormant or drop leaves if stressed. With the right care and stable conditions, it will reward you with stunning new foliage over time.

Note: All parts of this Alocasia are toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and children to avoid accidental ingestion.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Consistent Care: This Alocasia thrives when given consistent care for long period of time. The large, velvety leaves are prone to dust buildup, so gently wipe them with a damp cloth.
  2. Ideal Placement: An east or north-facing window is often perfect, providing gentle morning sun or consistent indirect light throughout the day.
  3. Reduce watering during dormant months: This Alocasia tends to go dormant in the winter months. During this time, reduce watering and allow the plant to rest.
  4. Repot every 1-2 years: This Alocasia prefers to be slightly root-bound, so repotting every 1-2 years is usually enough.
  5. Can be sensitive to tap water: This Alocasia can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water like chlorine and fluoride. Consider using filtered water, distilled water, or rainwater.

We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

Where do you ship?

Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?
