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.

Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Plumbea' Aurea: Rare Golden Variegated Collector's Houseplant
The Alocasia Plumbea Aurea is a rare tropical cultivar prized for its golden-yellow variegation. Bold metallic green leaves are splashed with yellow, and the contrast intensifies under brighter indirect light.
Why Serious Collectors Value Plumbea Aurea
This exceptional cultivar holds the attention of dedicated growers through its scarcity and its ever-evolving leaf patterns, which reward attentive care. The contrast between the metallic green base and the yellow splashes gives it a place in an advanced collection, and it is highly sought after by those who appreciate variegation of this quality.
A Golden Form for Indoor Tropical Collections
Suited to serious plant enthusiasts looking for a plant that brings a golden note to a room, this Aurea form thrives in warm, humid conditions. The bold metallic leaves with yellow variegation that intensifies with light make this a rare collector's houseplant worth a considered position in a tropical indoor 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.
