The very popular Alocasia Frydek is a must. Its emerald green foliage with white veins is irresistibly beautiful. In addition to standing out for the appearance and size of its sagittate lobed leaves, the Frydek variety has purple streaked stems. The Alocasia prefers bright light and being cramped in its pot. Also, this variety is very greedy in water and fertilizer. In order to promote its growth, it is recommended to keep the soil slightly moist and to add fertilizer regularly.
