Blades are dark and heavily substantial, with pale veining tracing the surface and a sculptural quality to the way they are held. It is a plant that has stayed in collections on the strength of its form rather than any novelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aurea layer adds golden to yellow sectoring over that dark ground. It is chimeric, produced by a genetically distinct tissue layer, so it lands differently on every leaf and every plant, from clean sectoring across part of a blade to finer marbling. Expression shifts with light and maturity. Aurea generally holds better than albo, though it is still not guaranteed true to type through tissue culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn cultivation it rewards bright, indirect light, which supports both vigour and the variegation, since the pale tissue carries reduced chlorophyll. Keep humidity above 60% and water once the top of the substrate begins to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll plants are grown in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thealocasiacompany.co.uk\/products\/fluval-stratum-non-bio\"\u003eFluval Stratum\u003c\/a\u003e, our preferred early-stage medium for corms and baby Alocasia, held in our 3D printed \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thealocasiacompany.co.uk\/products\/corm-keeper-3d-printer-rack\"\u003eCorm Keeper\u003c\/a\u003e stand.
