Alocasia Frydek Variegated

Variegated Alocasia Frydek Care Guide

🌿 Light

• Bright, indirect light.
• Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the variegated leaves.
• Adequate light helps maintain healthy variegation.

💧 Water

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry.
• Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy.
• Do not let the pot sit in standing water.

🌱 Soil

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix, such as:

• Coco peat
• Coco chips or orchid bark
• Perlite or pumice
• Compost or worm castings

💦 Humidity

• Prefers 60–80% humidity.
• Higher humidity encourages healthy growth and reduces brown leaf edges.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal: 18–30°C.
• Protect from temperatures below 15°C and avoid cold drafts.

🌿 Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

🪴 Repotting

• Repot every 1–2 years, or when the roots outgrow the pot.
• Use a pot with drainage holes and a well-aerated potting mix.
