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
Genus
Chienlii
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
ANTORO VELVET PINK VARIEGATED
Alocasia Antoro Velvet Pink: Extremely Rare Pink Variegated Velvet Houseplant
One of the rarest Alocasia in cultivation. The Alocasia Antoro Velvet Pink is extremely rare and very hard to find, following on from the standard and well-loved Antoro Velvet, with pink variegated leaves that read as a glowing pink hue against the dark undersides.
Why Collectors Treasure Antoro Velvet Pink
This super rare pink variegated form holds the attention of the most dedicated growers, its textured velvety leaves carrying soft pink tones that the dark undersides lift further. A synonym of Alocasia genus 'Chienlii', the plant was unofficially dubbed 'Antoro Velvet' after Sahmantoro, the Indonesian grower of Antoro Flora who found it in the rainforest, which makes this pink form more notable still for its heritage and rarity.
A Statement Plant for Advanced Collections
Suited to serious collectors seeking the rarest specimens, this pink variegated form pairs the velvety texture with pink colouration that sets it apart from the standard cultivar. Textured leaves, glowing pink variegation and genuine scarcity place this ultra-rare collector's houseplant at the far end of Alocasia collecting and rainforest discovery.
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.
