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
SIMPO AUREA VARIEGATED
Alocasia 'Simpo Aurea': a rare aurea variegated hybrid houseplant
The Alocasia 'Simpo Aurea' carries a radiant yellow variegation that takes an already sought-after cultivar a step further, showing vivid golden-yellow sectors against deep green foliage.
Why serious collectors prize Alocasia 'Simpo Aurea'
This notably rare hybrid holds the interest of collectors through a dynamic, shifting appearance that becomes more pronounced under ample bright, indirect light. The golden variegation creates contrast patterns that give every leaf its own character, and displays grow more vivid as lighting conditions are optimised.
A statement piece for tropical plant collections
Suited to serious enthusiasts seeking rare and unusual tropical specimens, the 'Simpo Aurea' combines distinctive colouration with limited availability, which makes it a considered addition to advanced collections.
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:
- Notably rare hybrid with radiant yellow variegation
- An aurea development of the original 'Simpo'
- Vivid golden-yellow sectors against deep green foliage
- Variegation intensifies with bright, indirect light
- Limited availability collector's specimen
- Dynamic, shifting appearance
