Why Plant Collectors Treasure Reginae Aurea
This highly sought-after collector's plant holds the attention of serious enthusiasts through irregular aurea patterns that create unique golden-yellow marbling on each leaf.

The combination of textured surface, bold colouring and unusual variegation patterns makes this rare collector's houseplant a focal point, and a good illustration of the range found across variegated Alocasia cultivars.
