About This Botanical

The Frydek is known for velvet-dark leaves marked with crisp white veins. The variegated form adds splashes of cream and white, so no two leaves look the same. It is a statement plant for a bright corner and pairs beautifully with a matte ceramic planter.

Quick care

Light: bright, indirect light, which also helps it hold its variegation.
Water: keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy.
Warmth: keep it warm and wipe the leaves gently to keep them clean.

Frequently asked questions

How do I care for Alocasia Frydek?

Bright indirect light, evenly moist soil that drains well, and steady warmth.

Is a variegated Frydek harder to grow?

Variegated plants often grow more slowly and need good light to keep their pattern, but the basic care is the same as the green Frydek.

How often should I water it?

Water when the top inch of soil starts to dry. Frequency changes with light, pot size and season, so check the soil rather than a calendar.
