The very popular Alocasia Frydek is a must-try. Its emerald green foliage with white veins is irresistibly beautiful. In addition to standing out for the appearance and size of its lobed sagittal leaves, the Frydek variety has purple striped stems. Alocasia prefers bright light and being cramped in its pot. Also, this variety is very demanding in water and fertilizer. To encourage its growth, it is recommended to keep your soil slightly moist and add fertilizer regularly.
Attention! Risk of toxicity if swallowed. The sap of Alocasias contains oxalic acid - risk of irritation in contact with the skin or eyes.
