Alocasia Frydek (Alocasia micholitziana ‘Frydek’), also known as Green Velvet Alocasia, is a striking tropical aroid cherished for its velvety, dark green, arrowhead‑shaped leaves highlighted by bold white veins. The luxurious foliage forms a compact, upright clump that adds dramatic texture and depth to indoor spaces.

This beauty thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade, and should be kept out of harsh direct sun to prevent scorching. It does best when grown in a well‑draining, chunky potting mix—such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, orchid bark, and compost—and watered only when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, ensuring the medium remains evenly moist but never soggy.

Native to tropical rainforests, Alocasia Frydek prefers warm temperatures between 18–29 °C (65–85 °F) and elevated humidity around 60–80%. It enjoys being placed on a pebble tray, in a humid room, or near a humidifier. Monthly feeding with a balanced fertilizer during spring and summer supports its lush growth.

This plant can sometimes enter a winter dormancy, shedding leaves before emerging fresh again in spring. It is generally propagated by division or corms and may rarely flower indoors. Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and fungus gnats, which can be managed early with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

With its bold foliage, elegant form, and tropical flair, Alocasia Frydek makes a luxurious yet attainable statement in any indoor plant collection.
