Curator’s Note
Alocasia Frydek brings a dramatic, velvet finish to indoor greenery. Arrowed blades in deep forest green carry crisp, porcelain veins, giving the plant a tailored, couture feel. Compact stature; showpiece presence.

Foliage Specs

• Botanical: Alocasia micholitziana ‘Frydek’
• Habit: upright petioles; low, self-supporting mound with even spread
• Blade: velvety, sagittate leaves; bright, contrasting venation; matte-to-satin glow
• Indoor scale: ~35–60 cm (14–24 in) with steady routines
• Pet note: position out of nibbling range

Placement & Styling

• Suits softly lit corners near an east window or screened daylight.
• Frames beautifully in charcoal, stone, or matte-white planters.
• Pair with glossy-leaf aroids for texture contrast (velvet vs shine).

Care Formula

• Watering: rehydrate once the surface layer dries back; let excess drain fully—no lingering water in sleeves or cachepots.
• Light: diffused daylight or gentle morning rays; protect from harsh midday glare to preserve the velvet finish.
• Climate: comfort zone around 20–29 °C (68–85 °F) with moisture-friendly air (~55–75% RH).
• Air movement: soft circulation keeps leaves firm and reduces spotting.

Root & Feed

• Substrate: fast-draining, airy matrix (bark + pumice/perlite + coco; a light sphagnum buffer).
• Nutrition: balanced feed at ¼–½ strength during active growth; taper when growth eases.
• Potting tip: a snug container supports a tidy, upright stance.

Settle-In Routine
Place in cushioned light and ramp brightness slowly over 10–14 days. Rotate the planter every couple of weeks for even leaf orientation; new flushes show the sharpest veining.
