Alocasia maharani aurea - Preorder

Alocasia maharani Aurea is a rare variegated form of Alocasia maharani, a jewel Alocasia native to Borneo. The species is admired for its thick leathery leaves with a matte silver green surface and deep dark veining. In the Aurea form the textured foliage is highlighted by warm golden yellow variegation that appears as marbling and soft patches across the leaf surface. The golden tones contrast beautifully with the muted base color giving each leaf a rich and refined appearance. Every plant develops unique patterns making this a highly desirable collector specimen.

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

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.

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.
