CUPREA NOM YEN 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
CUPREA NOM YEN VARIEGATED
Alocasia Cuprea Nom Yen Variegated: Ultra Rare Pink Coloured Metallic Houseplant
The Alocasia Cuprea Nom Yen Variegated is a rare and highly sought-after cultivar, showing bright pinks, purples, white and varied markings, considerably more variegated and more distinctive than standard Pink Cuprea forms.
Why Elite Collectors Value Cuprea Nom Yen Variegated
This ultra rare and much sought-after cultivar holds the attention of the most dedicated enthusiasts through its combination of bright pink, purple and white variegation across metallic foliage, which sets it clearly apart from other Cuprea forms. The varied markings and the metallic surface together make it one of the more remarkable Alocasia available to collectors worldwide.
For Elite Collections
Suited to serious collectors seeking the rarest and most distinctive specimens, this Nom Yen Variegated form sits at the top of Cuprea collecting for its varied markings and bright multi-toned colouration. The metallic finish, the bright pinks, purples and white variegation, and the sheer scarcity of the plant make this ultra-rare collector's houseplant one of the most diverse in the rare variegated Alocasia field.
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.
