This is the aurea variegated form of Alocasia 'Venom', the hybrid bred by Mason Lee of Mason Plants in South Korea, and one of the rarest expressions of an already highly sought-after cultivar. Very few examples have reached UK collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWhere the standard Venom is prized for its deep, dark foliage and bold contrasting veins, the Aurea form layers broad washes of gold and chartreuse across the blade. The variegation marbles through the leaf rather than sitting in hard-edged sectors, blending from butter-gold through lime into deep green, and every new leaf emerges with its own arrangement. No two specimens are alike, which is precisely what makes aurea forms of this calibre such a rare find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is grown from corm, not a TC!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCare follows the standard Venom. Bright, indirect light will keep the gold tissue well expressed; avoid direct sun, as variegated sections scorch more readily than pure green growth. Provide humidity of 60% or above, a free-draining chunky aroid mix, and a gentle balanced feed programme through the growing season. Juvenile plants establish quickly in warm, stable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAurea variegated form of Alocasia 'Venom', bred by Mason Lee of Mason Plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGold and chartreuse marbling over deep green foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEvery leaf carries a unique arrangement of variegation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eExtremely limited availability in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBright, indirect light; no direct sun on variegated tissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHumidity of 60%+ with a chunky, free-draining aroid mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGentle balanced feed programme through active growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA true collector's specimen for anyone building a serious Alocasia collection.
