🌿 Alocasia Melo – Albo Variegated

Thick, textured, and touched by frost — the Albo Variegated Alocasia Melo is a jaw-dropping blend of prehistoric vibes and icy elegance. Known for its rugged, leathery leaves with deep veining, this rare variegated form adds striking white or minty marbling that contrasts beautifully against the dark, matte green base.

A true unicorn among jewel Alocasias — compact, slow-growing, and wildly collectable.

✨ Quick Care Tips:

💧 Water: Keep soil lightly moist, but well-draining. Let the top 2–3 cm dry between waterings — too wet and the roots sulk.

☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Direct sun may scorch variegation, while too little light dulls the contrast.

🌫 Humidity: Needs 60%+ humidity to keep those thick leaves blemish-free. This one loves a humid cabinet or warm grow tent.

🌡 Temps: 20–28 °C ideal. Melo dislikes cold and sudden fluctuations — keep conditions stable.

🌱 NPG Tip:
Alocasia Melo is a slow grower even in perfect conditions — don’t rush it. Variegation can vary leaf to leaf, with some showing clean sectors and others soft marbling. Each one’s a little geological masterpiece 🌿
