Alocasia Green Velvet (Frydek)

The Alocasia Green Velvet, also known as Alocasia micholitziana ‘Frydek’, is a true showstopper. Its velvety, deep-green leaves are dramatically contrasted by bold white venation, creating an almost hand-painted look. Compact yet striking, this plant is a favourite among collectors for its elegant foliage and sculptural presence.

✔ Why it’s special:

• Velvety dark leaves with crisp white veins

• Compact size but striking impact in any room

• A plant that adds instant drama and elegance to your collection

🪴 Care guide:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch delicate leaves.

• Water: Plant in Soil Ninja Alocasia Blend. Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly before watering again.

• Humidity: Prefers 60–70% humidity. Benefits from a humidifier or pebble tray.

• Feeding: Monthly during spring and summer with a gentle, balanced fertiliser.

• Growth habit: Upright, with broad, velvety leaves that grow larger as the plant matures.

💡 Did you know?

The velvety surface of the Frydek’s leaves actually helps it trap and diffuse light in its native tropical environment, maximising photosynthesis in shaded forest understories.
