Collector’s Brief
A dramatic elephant ear celebrated for golden variegation—sunlit splashes and streaks over a deep jade canvas. Stout, upright petioles lift the foliage, creating a confident, architectural silhouette that reads like living sculpture indoors.

Foliage Notes

• Botanical: Alocasia sp. ‘New Guinea Gold’
• Form: vertical petioles; self-supporting, pedestal-like posture
• Blade: broad, cordate to sagittate leaves; satin surface; irregular gold/cream patterning
• Interior scale: typically ~50–90 cm (20–35 in) with consistent routines
• Pet guidance: stage beyond the reach of curious nibblers

Light & Climate

• Illumination: soft daylight or cushioned morning rays; filter harsh afternoon sun to protect pale sectors.
• Humidity: happier in moisture-friendly rooms (~55–75% RH) with mild air movement.
• Temperature: thrives at 20–29 °C (68–85 °F); avoid cold drafts for clean edges.

Water & Medium

• Hydration rhythm: water once the upper layer feels dry; flush thoroughly and let excess escape—no standing water in cachepots.
• Substrate: open, quick-draining matrix—orchid bark + pumice/perlite + coco chips with a light sphagnum buffer.
• Crown care: keep the growth point slightly elevated to discourage basal rot.

Feeding & Growth

• Nutrition: balanced feed at ¼–½ strength during active push; ease off as growth slows.
• Orientation: quarter-turn the planter every couple of weeks for even leaf presentation and pattern exposure.
• Grooming: wipe blades periodically so gold sectors stay bright and readable.

Placement Ideas

• Statement piece for living rooms, foyers, or office corners; pairs beautifully with stone, wood, and matte finishes.
• Contrast it with low, mounding aroids—the height difference spotlights the golden patterning.

Acclimation Guide
Introduce brighter conditions progressively over 10–14 days. Expect older leaves to mellow; fresh flushes usually carry the cleanest gold mapping and the crispest margins.
