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
LONGILOBA BLACK SATUN STARDUST
Looking for the Alocasia longiloba Black 'Satun Stardust'? This is one of the most unusual pink expressions we have ever offered: not sectors, not splashes, but a fine mist of rose speckling scattered across the blade like dust caught in the light. It is exactly the kind of oddity that gives a collection its character, and it very rarely surfaces in the UK.
Written in Stardust
Longiloba carries one of the most elegant silhouettes in the genus, a long, narrow arrowhead blade with gently scalloped margins and crisp, pale veining. 'Satun Stardust' takes that refined shape and covers it in something extraordinary. Dense pink stippling drifts across the deep green ground, in places so fine it reads as a rose-coloured sheen, with creamy flecks threaded through. Against that dark backdrop the pale veins stand out sharply, framing the speckling rather than competing with it.
This stardust-type speckle variegation lands differently on every leaf, so each of the four plants in this release carries its own pattern, and no two are alike. Pick your plant on this page and the one you choose is the one that arrives.
How We Grow Them
Rooted into Fluval Stratum at the nursery, then transitioned into our own pon mix, blended using the Soil Ninja range, and grown on towards maturity. Every plant is fully UK-acclimatised and ships established in its pot with pon included, so there is nothing to do on arrival.
Care and Positioning
Bright, indirect light keeps the speckling vivid and the veining crisp. Aim for humidity of 60% or higher, keep the plant in the free-draining mineral mix it arrives in, and run a gentle balanced feed programme through active growth.
