Variegated Alocasia Frydek

The Variegated Alocasia Frydek is the collector's version of an already stunning plant. Along with the classic velvety, arrowhead-shaped leaves, white veins, and burgundy undersides, the variegated form adds unpredictable splashes and marbling of creamy white across the foliage. No two plants look alike.

Like the standard Frydek, it is a slower grower that stays a manageable size indoors, and it asks for a little more attention in return for its drama. Give it bright, indirect light and keep its soil lightly and evenly moist.
