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
PSEUDOSANDERIANA ALBO VARIEGATED
Alocasia Pseudosanderiana Albo: Long-Leaf Cultivar with Chimeric Albo Variegation
This is the rare albo-variegated form of Alocasia pseudosanderiana, the often-confused, longer-leaved sibling to the better-known Sanderiana group, here lifted with chimeric albo sectoring that produces dramatic cream and white expression across deeply lobed foliage.
A Distinct Sanderiana-Group Cultivar
Pseudosanderiana is frequently confused with Sanderiana 'Nobilis' but is a distinct cultivar in its own right, with narrower, more elongated lobes and crisper silver veining. The albo variegated form layers chimeric cream and white sectoring across that already-architectural foliage, with each leaf expressing differently. As with all albo cultivars, variegation cannot be reliably tissue-cultured true to type and reversion is always a possibility. Leaving variegated growth points intact when pruning gives the best long-term expression.
Care and Positioning
Pseudosanderiana prefers bright, indirect light and humidity comfortably above 60%. Variegated sectors are more vulnerable to scorch, so filtered light is essential. A gentle balanced feed programme during active growth supports steady leaf production. The cultivar enjoys warmth and consistent conditions; abrupt environmental changes can trigger dormancy.
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.
