Care for Alocasia micholitziana Frydek

Alocasia micholitziana Frydek, also known as Green Velvet, is a charming tropical plant with dark green velvety leaves adorned with prominent white veins. Its velvety surface and dramatic color contrast make it one of the most distinctive houseplants.

💧 Watering Keep the substrate evenly moist – water when the top layer (approx. 2–3 cm) is dry. It dislikes complete drying out or waterlogging. Caution: Use room-temperature, standing water.

☀️ Light Prefers bright indirect light.

• Avoid direct sun, which can damage the velvety leaves.

• Lack of light slows growth and diminishes color intensity.

🌡️ Temperature and Air

• Ideal temperature: 18–28 °C.

• Cold: It cannot tolerate temperatures below 15 °C or drafts.

• Humidity: Requires high air humidity (above 60%). Mist regularly or place on a tray with moist pebbles. During the heating season, we recommend a humidifier – dry air causes brown leaf tips.

🌿 Fertilization During the growing season (spring–summer), fertilize once a month with liquid houseplant fertilizer at half strength. Completely omit fertilization in winter.

🧻 Substrate and Repotting Requires a light, humus-rich, and well-draining substrate – a peat mixture with perlite is ideal. Repot in spring when the roots fill the pot.

⚠️ Warning Alocasia is toxic to pets and children if ingested. Keep out of their reach.
