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
MICHOLITZIANA 'FRYDEK' ALBO VARIEGATED
Alocasia Micholitziana Albo (Frydek Green Velvet): Rare White Variegated Houseplant
The perfect evolution of the well known Frydek. The Alocasia Micholitziana Albo (also known as Frydek or Green Velvet Albo) is a rare white-variegated form that keeps the signature velvety texture while displaying dramatic white variegation sections against deep green foliage.
Why Collectors Prize Frydek Albo's Striking Contrast
This rare white-variegated Alocasia cultivar shows the same velvety texture as the standard Frydek while adding white variegation that creates marked contrast. The clean white sections against the deep green base, combined with the characteristic white veins, create a rewarding visual display that dedicated growers prize for its dramatic appearance and collector appeal.
A Statement Velvet Alocasia
Suited to serious Alocasia collectors, the bold white areas contrast against the deep green foliage and characteristic white veins while the plant keeps the same reliable growing habits as the standard Frydek. This collector's variegated cultivar offers the familiar appeal of the Green Velvet with the addition of dramatic white variegation.
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.

- Signature velvety texture with dramatic white sections
