GOLDEN BONE
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
GOLDEN BONE
Alocasia Golden Bone: Gold-Veined Tropical Houseplant
A dramatic tropical plant with unusual colouring. The Alocasia Golden Bone carries a distinctive golden-coloured central vein that contrasts against deep green foliage, while the burgundy undersides add a further layer of interest.
The Alocasia Golden Bone is a hybrid of Alocasia micholitziana ‘Green Velvet’ x Alocasia cuprea (unconfirmed).
Why Collectors Value Alocasia Golden Bone
This eye-catching Alocasia cultivar offers dual-sided interest, with its signature golden nerve running through each dark green leaf and rich burgundy colouration on the reverse. The contrast between the golden veining and the deep green base makes every leaf worth looking at closely.
A Long-Term Grower for Serious Collections
Suited to tropical plant collectors looking for both immediate presence and long-term growing satisfaction, the Golden Bone can reach substantial mature sizes, making it a rewarding plant to grow on. Its gold-veined foliage and growth potential mean this collector's Alocasia becomes more impressive as it develops.
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.
