The classic \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"183\"\u003eAlocasia wentii\u003c\/i\u003e is impressive on its own, but this 'Aurea' variety is a true botanical masterpiece. It boasts striking, large, and thick leaves adorned with a bold, sunny, and uneven \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"385\"\u003ebright yellow, lime green, and cream variegation pattern\u003c\/b\u003e. Each leaf is like a unique natural painting – some flourish with gentle yellow spots, others are split in half, creating a perfect contrast with the dark green base. But the greatest and most magical secret of this alocasia is revealed when viewed from underneath: the back of the leaves is colored in a \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"745\"\u003erich, royal purple and metallic burgundy tone\u003c\/b\u003e, which, shining through the sunlight and interacting with the yellow variegation, creates a completely surreal visual effect! This is a beautifully matured, distinctly strong \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"959\"\u003e30-35 cm\u003c\/b\u003e plant in a sturdy \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"982\"\u003e12 cm\u003c\/b\u003e pot.

High humidity helps new, large leaves open easily and without cracks, and also protects the yellow leaf edges from premature drying.

An important natural secret: alocasias grow naturally in cycles and, to grow a new, larger, and stronger leaf, they often sacrifice and drop their oldest, smallest leaf (which naturally turns yellow and withers) – there is no need to worry about this, it is a completely normal process. Do not repot this plant immediately into a too large pot – alocasias prefer a compact environment. When you repot it in the future, be sure to use an \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"677\"\u003eextremely airy, loose aroid soil mix\u003c\/b\u003e (generously mixed with dry orchid bark, coconut chips, and perlite) so the roots can breathe freely and water drains instantly through the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augi-Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54566979535177,"sku":null,"price":41.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/1ED63995-0A35-4E10-BE08-09CE02C32D3F.jpg?v=1780939557","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.fi\/en\/products\/alocasia-wentii-aurea","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
