Alocasia micholitziana ‘Frydek’ Variegata

Alocasia micholitziana 'Frydek' Variegata is one of the most coveted variegated houseplants, prized for its luxurious velvety foliage and dramatic creamy white variegation. The rich, deep green leaves are beautifully contrasted by crisp white markings and striking pale veins, creating an elegant architectural display. As with all naturally variegated plants, every specimen is completely unique.

Commonly known as the Variegated Green Velvet Alocasia, this exceptional cultivar is a form of Alocasia micholitziana, a species native to the tropical forests of the Philippines. Growing beneath the rainforest canopy, it thrives in warm, humid conditions with bright, indirect light. Its compact growth habit and velvety foliage make it one of the most desirable Alocasia available.

Like other Alocasia, 'Frydek' grows from underground rhizomes that store water and nutrients. It performs best in a warm position above 16°C with bright, indirect light, high humidity and a free-draining compost. Allow the top layer of compost to dry slightly before watering, taking extra care not to overwater during the cooler months.

A true collector's plant, Alocasia 'Frydek' Variegata brings outstanding texture, contrast and tropical character to any indoor plant collection, making a spectacular statement whether displayed on its own or amongst other rare foliage plants.
