Alocasia Micholitziana 'Frydek' Variegated

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

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

This rare Frydek dazzles with velvety dark-green leaves streaked and splashed with creamy white variegation. The plush texture feels like soft velvet, while the pale marbling makes each leaf a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Needs bright, indirect light; variegated sections require extra light to stay vibrant. Too little and the white fades, too much sun scorches.
💧 Water – Keep soil moist but not soggy; let the top 1–2 inches dry slightly. Variegated Frydeks are more sensitive to overwatering than their solid-green form. Can do well in a semi-hydro set up.
🌡️ Humidity – Thrives in 60%+ humidity; dry air causes browning on variegated parts first. Prefers warmth (65–80°F / 18–27°C).
🌱 Growth – Slower and smaller than standard Frydek; typically reaches 1–2 feet indoors with smaller, uniquely patterned leaves.

📊 Difficulty: High (slower growth and delicate variegation mean it’s less forgiving).
🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested (can cause mouth irritation and stomach upset). All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
Every new leaf’s variegation is unpredictable—take photos early, as the patterns shift as the leaf matures.
