The Alocasia lauterbachiana ‘Variegata’ is elegance with an edge. Its long, narrow, spear-like leaves already give it a striking architectural presence, but add streaks of creamy variegation slashing through the deep green and you’ve got something extraordinary.
Known as one of the most graceful of the Alocasias, the variegated form takes it to collector status. Each leaf is a surprise — some boldly striped, others delicately marbled — making every plant one-of-a-kind. Tall, dramatic, and a little wild, this is the statement plant that says you’re not just into greenery… you’re into living art.
Care Notes:
Light: Bright, indirect light — variegation shines best with consistency.
Water: Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy.
Humidity: Loves high humidity to keep those elegant leaves pristine.
Tip: Wipe leaves gently to keep their dramatic sheen front and centre.

The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Philodendrons:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (30%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (5%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
