Alocaisa Melo Aurea

A rare mutation of the ultra-textured Alocasia Melo, featuring vibrant aurea (yellow) variegation over its thick, stone-like foliage. Origin: This is a variegated form of Alocasia Melo, also known as Alocasia Rugosa, which is renowned for its heavily corrugated, almost succulent-like leaves and ultra-thick texture. The Aurea mutation introduces bright yellow or lime variegation patterns, often forming patches or streaks that contrast strikingly with the deep green-blue base of the leaves. Care Recommendations: 🌡️ Temperature: 70–85°F (21–29°C) 💧 Humidity: 70% or higher 🌞 Light: Medium to bright indirect light; avoid direct sun Difficulty Level: 4 Additional Notes: Due to its thick, slow-growing leaves and sensitivity to overwatering, this variety requires well-draining substrate and careful moisture control. The aurea variegation may fade or burn under unstable humidity or strong light, so consistency in environment is key. Best suited for experienced growers or controlled cabinet s
