Alocasia Frydek

Meet the Alocasia Frydek, also known as the fabulous Alocasia Micholitziana or the dashing Alocasia Green Velvet—the plant that’s here to steal your heart (and probably a spot by your sunniest window). This green gem is like the runway model of houseplants, flaunting narrow, arrowhead-shaped leaves in a deep, rich green, dramatically highlighted with striking white veins. Flip those Alocasia Frydek leaves over, and voilà—a surprise burgundy backside! It's like a plant with its own secret fashion show.

Now, I won’t sugarcoat it: the Alocasia Frydek is a bit of a diva. It craves bright, indirect sunlight and will throw a fit (aka droopy leaves) if it doesn’t get enough. Plus, it’s not a fan of the cold—so keep those drafty windows away! It also loves its soil like we love our cake: moist, but not drowning. Think of it like Goldilocks—everything has to be just right.

Why You’ll Love This Diva:

• Leaves so velvety, you’ll want to pet them (but don’t—plants like personal space).
• Striking contrast of white veins and burgundy undersides of the Alocasia Frydek.
• Loves bright, indirect light, and consistently moist soil.
• Not pet-friendly, but hey, it’s got to have some flaws, right?

For plant enthusiasts who are up for a little challenge, the Alocasia Frydek is your new botanical BFF. It may be finicky, but its breathtaking leaves make every bit of plant-parenting worth it. So go ahead, add a little drama to your indoor jungle with the Alocasia Frydek!
