The Alocasia Simpo Aurea carries broad, slightly waved leaves with yellow to cream lightening. It grows faster than most collector Alocasia and therefore suits a first purchase well.
 
Bright position, indirect light, temperature steady above 18 °C, no draughts. Alocasia reacts sensitively to sudden changes of position and occasionally answers with leaf loss. That too is reversible: as long as the tuber is firm, the plant will push new growth.
 
Instead of white sections this form shows yellow to cream lightening. Yellow variegated tissue still contains residual chlorophyll and is therefore less vulnerable to light stress than pure white — such plants usually grow more vigorously than comparable Albo forms.
 
This plant is rooted and established. After shipping it may take a few days to acclimatise — slight leaf stress, curled leaves or a growth pause in the first two weeks are normal. Heavily variegated leaves are more vulnerable in transit than green ones and may show occasional browning at the edges.
 
Delivery quality: you receive a comparable plant from the same batch as shown. Since every variegation is unique, no two specimens are alike.
