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
SINTANG NEON VARIEGATED
Alocasia sintang 'Neon' Variegated
Looking for Alocasia sintang 'Neon' Variegated?
A genuinely rare find for serious Alocasia collectors. Alocasia sintang is an undescribed species originating from the Sintang regency of West Kalimantan, Borneo, and has only been in cultivation since the early 2000s. The 'Neon' form takes that already scarce parent and adds a vivid green-on-green variegation with soft yellow flushes, a colour expression rarely seen on the standard collector circuit.
What makes the 'Neon' cultivar so distinctive is the way the variegation reads across the leaf. Rather than the high-contrast white sectors of an albo, you get a luminous lime-on-deeper-green pattern threaded with warm yellow tones that catch the light. Subtle from a distance, quietly striking up close, a connoisseur's piece rather than a display for its own sake.
Alocasia sintang is also a notable parent in modern Alocasia breeding, credited as one half of celebrated hybrids including Alocasia 'Albatuwan', Alocasia 'Silver Armor', and Alocasia 'Silver Streak'. Owning the 'Neon' variegated form puts a piece of that lineage directly into your collection.
Care follows standard Alocasia preferences: bright indirect light, warmth, and consistent humidity. Pair with a gentle balanced feed programme to encourage stable new growth. As with all variegated specimens, leaf-to-leaf expression will vary, which is part of the character of the plant.
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.
- Origin: West Kalimantan, Borneo (Sintang regency)
- Status: undescribed species, in cultivation since the early 2000s
- Variegation: bright neon green on deeper green, with yellow accents
- Light: bright, indirect
- Humidity: 60-75% preferred
- Substrate: grown in moss (TC), fully acclimatised
- Note: often misidentified as Alocasia reginae in the trade
A rare addition to any serious Alocasia collection. Get in touch if you would like to discuss provenance, current size, or shipping.
