What collectors say
Care
Light. Bright, indirect light. Variegated tissue carries less chlorophyll and scorches more easily than green, so filter strong sun.
Water and humidity. Keep the substrate evenly moist, never wet. Aim for 60% humidity or higher.
Feeding. A balanced feed programme through spring and summer; ease off in winter.
Dormancy. An Alocasia that drops its leaves in the cold is usually resting, not dead. Keep it warm and barely moist and it will push again.
Delivery and arrival
Plants are dispatched Monday to Thursday only, so they never sit in a depot over a weekend. Every order is sent with a heat pack and packed plastic-free.
Free UK delivery on orders over £75. Unpack on arrival and give your plant a few days of steady conditions to acclimatise.
Every plant is covered by our 7-day live arrival guarantee. If there's a problem, email sales@thealocasiacompany.co.uk within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos. Please don't repot in those first 7 days, as repotting voids the guarantee.
Pet safety
Like all aroids, this plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if eaten. Keep it out of reach of cats, dogs and children.
About this cultivar
MAHARANI AUREA VARIEGATED
Alocasia Maharani Aurea: Rare Golden Variegated Hybrid Houseplant
The Alocasia Maharani Aurea is a rare, highly sought-after variegated form of the Maharani hybrid (A. reginula × A. melo), compact in habit, with textured silvery-green leaves carrying yellow and green variegation.
Why Collectors Prize This Hybrid
This rare variegated Alocasia combines compact, upright growth with leathery, rough-textured leaves, which makes it well suited to indoor cultivation. The hybrid genetics bring lighter veins, a softer leaf texture than A. melo, and the red abaxials inherited from the Black Velvet parent.
What Distinguishes Maharani Aurea
For serious hybrid collectors, this plant shows features that separate it from its A. melo parent: distinctly lighter venation rather than uniform colouration, a softer leaf texture with less embossing, lighter leaf colouration, and the red undersides retained from the A. reginula heritage. The golden variegation sets it apart again from the standard hybrid.
All plants are grown in Fluval Stratum, our preferred early-stage medium for corms and baby Alocasia, held in our 3D printed Corm Keeper stand. Once fully rooted and at juvenile size we repot into our own pon mix, blended from components in our Soil Ninja range.
Key Features:
- Rare golden variegated form of the Maharani hybrid
- Cross between A. reginula (Black Velvet) and A. melo
- Textured silvery-green leaves with yellow-green variegation
- Compact, upright growth suited to indoor spaces
- Distinctive lighter veins and softer leaf texture
- Red abaxials inherited from the Black Velvet parent
