Alocasia micholitziana 'Frydek'
Alocasia 'Frydek' is a striking tropical houseplant prized for its luxurious velvety foliage and bold contrasting veins. The deep green, arrow-shaped leaves are highlighted by prominent white veining, creating a dramatic appearance that makes this plant a true focal point in any indoor space.
Its upright growth habit and architectural form bring a sophisticated jungle feel to the home, while the soft texture of the foliage adds an extra layer of visual interest. Best positioned in a warm, bright room away from draughts, 'Frydek' rewards good care with impressive foliage and strong growth.
- Other names: Elephant Ear, African Mask, Green Velvet Alocasia
- Useful to know: Toxic if ingested - not safe for pets and children
- Eventual height: Can grow up to 90cm
- Origins: Tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia and the Philippines
Alocasia Care Sheet
Light: Needs bright but indirect light, as strong full sun will scorch the foliage. The leaves turn toward the light so rotate the plant to prevent it leaning
Water: Requires regular watering to keep the soil moist, but not saturated. As a rainforest plant it is used to growing in damp conditions. Browning leaf edges are a sign of underwatering, and water droplets on the leaf tips indicate the plant sweating out excess moisture, called guttation. Reduce watering if this occurs
Soil/Nutrition: Well-draining houseplant compost mix, feed monthly in spring and summer
Humidity: Enjoys regular misting, or a pebble tray to replicate the humid rainforest environment
Pruning and propagation: Dust the leaves to help keep the plant in top condition. Trim off faded leaves to keep neat. Can be propagated by rhizome division of the corms in spring and summer
Experience Level: Moderate
