MAHARANI ALBO 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
MAHARANI ALBO VARIEGATED
Alocasia Maharani Albo: Rare White Variegated Hybrid Houseplant
The Alocasia Maharani Albo is a rare, highly sought-after variegated form of the Maharani hybrid (A. reginula × A. melo), compact in habit, with textured silvery-green leaves carrying white variegation.
Why Collectors Prize This Hybrid
This rare variegated Alocasia combines compact, upright growth with leathery, rough-textured leaves, which makes it well suited to indoor cultivation. The hybrid genetics bring lighter veins, a softer leaf texture than A. melo, and the red abaxials inherited from the Black Velvet parent, alongside the white variegation.
What Distinguishes Maharani Albo
For serious hybrid collectors, this plant shows features that separate it from its A. melo parent: distinctly lighter venation rather than uniform colouration, a softer leaf texture with less embossing, lighter leaf colouration, and the red undersides retained from the A. reginula heritage. The white variegation sets it apart again from the standard hybrid.
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.
Key Features:
- Rare white variegated form of the Maharani hybrid
- Cross between A. reginula (Black Velvet) and A. melo
- Textured silvery-green leaves with white variegation
- Compact, upright growth suited to indoor spaces
- Distinctive lighter veins and softer leaf texture
- Red abaxials inherited from the Black Velvet parent
* These plants are acclimatised from tissue culture, not corm grown.
