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
AZLANII ORANGE AUREA VARIEGATED
Alocasia Azlanii Orange Aurea Variegated
This is the aurea-variegated form of the celebrated Alocasia azlanii, a Bornean rarity known for its near-black foliage and burgundy-red veining, here carrying golden-yellow sectoral variegation.
Alocasia azlanii was named after plant collector Azlan Pandai of the Brunei National Herbarium, whose enthusiasm in searching out aroids in the field has brought about many rewarding finds.
A Bornean Rarity Lifted with Aurea Sectoring
Azlanii is one of the most striking Alocasia species in cultivation, with thick leaves and metallic red veins that catch the light from every angle. The aurea variegation adds golden-yellow sectoring across that already dramatic base, producing a colour combination you do not see in any other Alocasia cultivar. Aurea sectoring is more stable than albo, though expression still varies between leaves and across growing conditions.
Care and Establishment
Azlanii is more compact in habit than many Alocasia and appreciates bright, filtered light and humidity of 60% or higher. Warmth is important to push consistent leaf production. A gentle balanced feed programme during active growth helps deepen the green tones and supports stable aurea expression. Juveniles benefit from a stable environment after arrival to settle in.
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.
