Alocasia Odora Batik Blizzard

🔥❄️ Alocasia odora ‘Batik Blizzard’ (al-oh-KAY-sha “Batik Bliz-ard”) ❄️🔥

Also known as: Alocasia odora Batik ‘Blizzard/Snow’, Variegated Odora Batik, Batik Odora Blizzard.

Batik Blizzard looks hand-painted: large glossy leaves streaked and marbled with creamy white and deep green in batik-like patterns. The bold contrast and ridged texture give it an almost frosted, quilted look—like winter magic in tropical form.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light; too little dims the variegation, too much sun scorches.
💧 Water – Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy; allow the top 1–2 inches to dry slightly. Needs excellent drainage.
🌡️ Humidity – Thrives in high humidity (60%+); drier air often browns the creamy variegation.
🌱 Growth – Moderate grower; variegated forms are slower. Can reach several feet tall indoors with broad patterned leaves.

📊 Difficulty: Intermediate–High (variegated leaves are less forgiving of stress).
🐾 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 Batik Blizzard leaf is uniquely patterned—photograph new leaves early, as their colors and contrasts often soften as they mature.
