🌿💛 Alocasia gageana ‘Aurea Variegata’ 💛🌿

(pronounced “ah-loh-KAY-shuh gah-JEE-ah-nuh AW-ree-ah vah-ree-GAH-tah”)

Also known as Variegated Dwarf Elephant Ear or Golden Variegated Gageana.

This sun-kissed Alocasia is a showstopper, combining bold tropical form with golden marbling that seems to glow from within. Alocasia gageana ‘Aurea Variegata’ features broad, upward-facing leaves splashed and streaked with buttery yellow, lime, and deep green—each leaf a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Its compact stature makes it perfect for indoor displays where its vibrant coloration can take center stage.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light brings out the strongest yellow variegation. Avoid harsh direct sun that can burn lighter areas.

Water – Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Consistency is important to Alocasia.
