Alocasia Ninja Albo - Preorder

Alocasia Ninja Albo is a rare variegated form of Alocasia reginula Ninja, a cultivated selection within the Black Velvet group with no documented wild origin. This plant is admired for its compact growth and deep almost black velvety leaves with subtle veining. In the Albo form the dark foliage is contrasted by crisp white to creamy variegation that appears as marbling and splashes across the leaf surface. The high contrast between the velvety base and bright variegation gives the plant a refined and dramatic appearance. Each leaf develops unique patterns making this a highly desirable collector specimen.

Due to the instability of variegation and the naturally slow growth of Ninja types this plant performs best in controlled indoor environments where stable conditions support long term health.

Soil
Light chunky soil mix. Use an airy and well draining aroid substrate to protect the roots and prevent compaction.

Watering
Keep evenly moist. Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or remain waterlogged.

Temperature
Keep it warm between twenty and twenty eight degrees Celsius or sixty eight to eighty two degrees Fahrenheit. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizer
Light regular feeding during the growing season supports slow steady growth. Use a balanced fertilizer at low strength.

Growth habit and additional care
Compact upright growth with no climbing behavior. This plant is sensitive to stress low humidity and inconsistent care. Stable conditions minimal disturbance and a consistent routine are essential for long term success.
