Once you know that, the name tells you what to expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aurea layer is what makes this one scarce. Instead of plain green, the pale tissue comes through as golden-yellow, marbled across the deep green in a way that reads warm rather than stark. On a velvet leaf this behaves differently to a glossy one: the matte surface absorbs light and softens the gold, so the contrast sits deep in the blade rather than flashing off it. Because the aurea variegation is chimeric, it lands differently on every leaf and every plant, and it cannot be guaranteed true-to-type through tissue culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Frydek' is a velvet Alocasia, so it rewards a little more attention than the leathery species: bright, indirect light to hold the variegation, steady high humidity, and water once the top of the substrate begins to dry. Velvet leaves dislike being wetted directly, so water to the substrate rather than the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll plants are grown in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thealocasiacompany.co.uk\/products\/fluval-stratum-non-bio\"\u003eFluval Stratum\u003c\/a\u003e, our preferred early-stage medium for corms and baby Alocasia, held in our 3D printed \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thealocasiacompany.co.uk\/products\/corm-keeper-3d-printer-rack\"\u003eCorm Keeper\u003c\/a\u003e stand.
