Alocasia macrorrhiza ‘Variegata’ – Giant Marble Elephant Ear 🤍🌿

Alocasia macrorrhiza ‘Variegata’ is a spectacular large-leaved tropical plant, prized for its dramatic marbled white and green foliage. With its bold upright growth and giant elephant ear-style leaves, each leaf becomes a living artwork – some streaked, some splashed, and others heavily variegated. A true collector’s piece for those looking to make a tropical statement indoors or in a warm garden.

Key Features:

✔ Massive upright elephant ear leaves with white and green variegation
✔ Each leaf is uniquely patterned – no two are alike
✔ Can grow over 1.5 metres tall with maturity and care
✔ Perfect for statement planters, bright corners, or indoor jungles
✔ Rare and sought-after among aroid collectors

Care Instructions:

• Light: Needs bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation – protect from harsh sun

• Watering: Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry – avoid letting it dry out completely

• Humidity: Loves high humidity (60%+) – mist regularly or use a humidifier

• Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix (bark, perlite, coco coir)

• Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertiliser

• Temperature: Prefers warm conditions – 18–28°C, avoid drafts or cold snaps

• Dormancy: May slow down or drop leaves in winter – reduce watering and resume in spring

🌿 Tip: Variegated parts of the leaves lack chlorophyll – be sure to rotate regularly so the whole plant gets even light for strong, healthy growth.
