Alocasia Frydek – Grower’s Choice Starter Plant

Alocasia Frydek is a velvet-leaf favorite prized for its deep green foliage and striking white veining. Leaves have a soft, matte texture with a plush, almost suede-like finish that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. The bold contrast between the dark leaf surface and bright veins gives Frydek a refined, dramatic look without being flashy.

Frydek grows with a graceful, upright habit. Leaves emerge tall and elegant, with elongated arrow-shaped blades that feel more fluid and organic than rigid or angular. As the plant matures, leaf size increases significantly and the veining becomes even more pronounced, making it a standout among velvet Alocasias.

This listing is for a Grower’s Choice Alocasia Frydek starter plant, not a corm. Plants are selected by me at the time of fulfillment based on overall health, root development, and growth stage. Starter plants are rooted, actively growing, and grown from my personal collection.

Starter plants are juvenile, established plants with approximately 1–3 leaves at the time of shipment. These plants are rooted and actively growing but still early in development. Leaf size, shape, and coloration will continue to change as the plant matures.

Photos are representative only. You will not receive the exact plant shown. Images represent typical size, shape, and growth stage.

What to Expect

• This listing is for an established starter plant, not a corm

• Starter plants typically have 1–3 leaves at the time of shipment

• Plants are rooted and actively growing

• Leaf texture and veining may continue to develop with maturity

• Minor cosmetic imperfections are normal with living plants

• Temporary stress from shipping or environmental changes is possible

I do not ship unhealthy or compromised plants. Each plant is inspected prior to shipping to ensure strong roots and overall health.

Care Responsibility

Once the plant leaves my care, ongoing care becomes the responsibility of the buyer. This includes providing appropriate light, warmth, humidity, moisture management, and allowing time for acclimation after shipping.

I am not responsible for damage caused by improper care, environmental conditions, shipping delays, or temperature exposure after shipment.

I strongly recommend purchasing a heat pack and upgrading shipping when temperatures are cooler, as Alocasia starter plants are sensitive to cold and temperature fluctuations.

A Note on Growing

Alocasia Frydek thrives with consistency and stable conditions. Some leaf repositioning or minor cosmetic changes may occur after transit, but given time and patience, Frydek rewards growers with larger, more dramatic foliage and strong, steady growth.
