Lookbook Notes
A velvet-leaved showpiece with painterly cream and soft-lime splashes over deep evergreen. The variegation reads crisp yet refined, and the arrowed blades give a tailored, sculptural line in compact rooms.

Form & Finish

• Botanical: Alocasia micholitziana ‘Frydek’ (variegated form)
• Habit: upright petioles; low, balanced canopy with clean geometry
• Leaf surface: velvety matte with bright, porcelain veins and irregular cream sectors
• Indoor height range: ~35–60 cm (14–24 in) under steady routines
• Pet note: display out of nibbling reach

Best Setting
North or east exposure is ideal—soft daylight or screened morning sun keeps pale sectors bright without singe. Pair with matte or stone planters; the texture contrast (velvet leaf vs. mineral pot) elevates the silhouette.

Care Framework

• Hydration: water when the top 1–1.5 cm (½ in) dries to the touch; saturate, then drain completely—no standing water.
• Atmosphere: moisture-friendly room (~55–75% RH) with gentle air movement; target 20–29 °C (68–85 °F).
• Light management: avoid harsh midday beams to preserve the velvet finish and creamy patches.

Substrate & Feeding

• Medium: open, mineral-forward blend—orchid bark + pumice/coarse perlite + coco chips; a light sphagnum accent for buffering.
• Nutrition: balanced feed at ¼–½ strength during active growth; ease off when growth slows.
• Orientation: quarter-turn the pot every couple of weeks for even leaf presentation.

Acclimation
Introduce brighter conditions gradually over 10–14 days. Older leaves may mellow; new flushes typically show the sharpest contrast and cleanest velvet.
