The Alocasia Nairobi Night Pink Albo carries large, shiny, very dark green shield-shaped leaves with prominent white veins, pink and white variegation, and pink petioles that together form a multi-coloured display.
Why Collectors Value Nairobi Night Pink Albo
This rare variegated cultivar holds the attention of serious growers through the contrast between very dark green glossy foliage, bold white veining, and the pink and white variegation that sets it apart from the standard Nairobi Night. The pink petioles complement the pink variegation, creating a cohesive colour story that places this cultivar among the more sought after collector's pieces.
A Statement Plant for Advanced Collections
Suited to serious plant collectors seeking dramatic architectural form with rare variegation, the Nairobi Night Pink Albo's large shield-shaped leaves command attention, while the combination of prominent white veins and pink variegation creates striking patterns against the deep green background. The unified pink accent throughout means this rare collector's houseplant brings both drama and colour harmony to a tropical display.
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.
