Alocasia Micholitziana 'Frydek'

🔥🌿 Alocasia micholitziana ‘Frydek’ (al-oh-KAY-sha “Fry-deck”) 🌿🔥

Also known as: Green Velvet Alocasia, Alocasia Frydek, Velvet Alocasia.

Frydek is a velvet-clad beauty with deep green, arrow-shaped leaves cut through by bold white veins. The matte, velvety surface gives it a soft, luxurious texture that stands out from glossier alocasias.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light; harsh sun scorches velvety leaves.
💧 Water – Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; let the top 1–2 inches dry slightly. Can do well in a semi-hydro set up.
🌡️ Humidity – Thrives in high humidity (60%+); prefers warm temps (65–85°F / 18–29°C).
🌱 Growth – Reaches about 2–3 feet tall and wide indoors; mature leaves can grow 14–16 inches long.

📊 Difficulty: Intermediate–High (sensitive to watering issues and humidity swings).
🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested (can cause mouth irritation, swelling, and stomach upset). All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
The velvety texture looks most dramatic in filtered morning light—soft beams bring out its sheen without risking burns.
