Plant Description
Alocasia Blood Bone: Genuinely Rare Hybrid Collector's Houseplant
The Alocasia Blood Bone delivers exceptional beauty as a genuinely rare specimen where the term "rare" is accurate, not overused – this stunning hybrid created by hybridiser Wim Philtjens represents a genuine rarity.
The Alocasia Company are proud of the opportunity to showcase this stunning Alocasia representing the hybridiser and their creation.
Why Elite Collectors Will Treasure Alocasia Blood Bone
This exceptional hybrid creation (Alocasia Cuprea × Alocasia Micholitziana 'Green Velvet'/Frydek) captivates serious enthusiasts with its easily identifiable deep red stems. Similar to the popular Alocasia Golden Bone yet distinctly different, the Blood Bone's unique parentage order – Cuprea as berry carrier first, pollen second – creates a hybrid with characteristics that set it apart from its Golden Bone counterpart (which reverses this cross as Frydek × Cuprea).

Ideal for dedicated collectors seeking genuine rarities with documented breeding heritage, this Wim Philtjens creation showcases the artistry of intentional hybridisation with its distinguishing deep red stems. The specific crossing order and exceptional parentage ensure this rare collector's houseplant represents both botanical significance and visual distinction that serious enthusiasts prize in their advanced collections.
