REGINAE PINK VARIEGATED
A dormant corm rather than a growing plant. It arrives in Fluval Stratum, ready to sprout given warmth and humidity. Rooting and first leaves take time, and patience is part of it.

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
REGINAE PINK VARIEGATED
Alocasia reginae Pink Variegated
Looking for Alocasia reginae Pink Variegated? This is one of the rarest and most visually arresting forms of the Bornean jewel reginae, and a specimen that rewards a collector who understands what pink variegation actually is.
Alocasia reginae is a jewel-class species, compact and thick-leaved, with a silvery blue-green velvet upper surface and, as a lovely quiet detail, a reddish-purple underside that shows when the leaf is turned to the light. It is a plant built for close observation rather than scale. The pink form overlays that cool silver-velvet base with sectors of soft pink, marbled through the green in a way that can be genuinely spectacular when it lands well.
Here is the honest part, and it matters. Pink is the least stable of the Alocasia variegation types. Unlike white albo or golden aurea, pink often expresses unevenly and can vary considerably from leaf to leaf, with some leaves carrying bold pink and others coming through with far less. It cannot be guaranteed to appear on every new leaf, and the intensity you see on one leaf is not a promise for the next. That instability is precisely why a well-expressing pink reginae is so sought-after, and why it is best bought by a collector who values the plant itself rather than a fixed outcome.
Because the pale and pink tissue carries reduced chlorophyll, bright indirect light is important to keep the plant strong and to support what pink it does produce, without scorching the softer sectors. Keep humidity high, water once the top of the substrate begins to dry, and remember this is a velvet-leaved jewel, so water to the substrate rather than the foliage.
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.
- Variegation: pink, variable and chimeric, expression differs leaf to leaf and is not guaranteed to persist
- Base leaf: silvery blue-green velvet upper surface, reddish-purple underside
- Scale: compact jewel-class species, a specimen for close viewing
- Light: bright, indirect light to support the plant and its variegation
- Humidity: high, thrives at 60% and above
- Growth habit: compact, slow-growing velvet jewel
- Grown & Imported In moss (TC)
A rare chance to own a pink-variegated Bornean jewel, for the collector who appreciates that pink is as unpredictable as it is beautiful. Get in touch with the team at The Alocasia Company if you'd like advice on care or variegation stability.
