Alocasia Micholitziana Frydek Variegated #5

The Alocasia Micholitziana Frydek Variegated is a well-known and well-loved Alocasia variety. Its dark velvet leaves with striking white and cream variegation will stand out. The white variegation is unique on every leaf and can actually change or grow as the plant grows/matures. 

Note: Alocasias are 'crying' plants which means they can drop extra water through the tips of their leafs. Be aware of potential water damage to materials such as wood. 

Care instructions

💦🪴 Let the top 2-5 centimeters (or 25%) of the soil dry out before watering again.  Sitting in soaked soil too long can cause root rot. We prefer to use clear container pots so we can monitor the soil en roots.

💧Will thrive in a roomhumidity between 60-70%

🪴🧪 Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). During the winter dormancy period (winter and fall) the plant does not need to be fertilized (or it should be heavily diluted).
