Alocasia macrorrhiza ‘Variegata’ – Bold White Variegated Alocasia

Alocasia macrorrhiza ‘Variegata’ is a striking collector plant with broad foliage marked by irregular splashes of white and green. Known for its large 'elephant ear' leaves and upright growth habit, this variety brings architectural structure to any indoor plant setup. It’s more moisture-tolerant than many Alocasias, making it a manageable choice for collectors who want scale and colour without excessive fuss.

Key Features

• Bold Variegation: High-contrast patches of white and green across large leaves.
• Bold Growth Form: Upright and structural with leaves that grow fairly large, ideal as a statement piece indoors.
• More Moisture Tolerant: Handles consistent moisture better than other Alocasias.
• Indoor Grown: Acclimated to household conditions—no greenhouse hardening needed.

Care Requirements

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh afternoon sun.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during active growth. Reduce watering if it becomes dormant.
• Soil: Use a well-draining mix to prevent soggy roots.
• Pests: Like all Alocasia, it can attract spider mites—maintain your preventative routine.

What to Expect

The plants pictured were photographed on 28 March and are the exact plants you will receive. Please note that older leaves—especially those with more white—may drop over time, as is typical for this genus. Alocasia often lose older leaves as new ones emerge. New growth may also be present depending on the sale date.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
