About Alocasia azlanii 'Variegated'
Alocasia azlanii 'Variegated' is a compact jewel Alocasia native to Brunei on the island of Borneo. It has glossy, deep green to bronzy foliage with a metallic sheen, highlighted by contrasting venation with iridescent purple or red undertones. This corm-forming variety grows in a compact rosette on upright dark petioles. The variegated form is rare, adding cream or pale mint sectors and marbling across the dark, metallic leaf surface.

Before You Buy
Species-specific things to check when evaluating a listing
- Inspect the corm and any visible roots — both should be firm and healthy; variegated alocasias are not more robust than their green counterparts
- Check that variegation is present on at least one fully developed leaf — photos of emerging growth only are not sufficient proof
- Spider mites are the primary pest concern: inspect leaf undersides for stippling or fine webbing before introducing to your collection
- Pups of variegated alocasias should show variegation from an early stage — a pup that is entirely green may not carry the variegation
Propagation Guide
How to Propagate Alocasia azlanii 'Variegated'
3-6 months
Cultivar character is preserved through vegetative cuttings
Wait for the mother plant to produce corms or pups before dividing. Larger, well-established plants produce offsets most readily. Alocasias do not propagate reliably from stem cuttings.
Care Guide
Alocasia azlanii 'Variegated' Care Guide & Growing Conditions
Well-draining loamy mix: 40% potting compost, 30% perlite, 20% orchid bark, 10% worm castings. Alocasias need moisture retention unlike most aroids but still require good drainage.
Keep evenly moist during the growing season — never waterlogged, never bone dry. Check soil every 3–4 days in summer. Reduce significantly in winter when growth slows.
60–80%. Lower humidity causes brown leaf edges; very low humidity combined with dry compost will trigger dormancy.
Balanced fertiliser at half strength every 2 weeks during spring and summer. Stop feeding in winter.
Every 12–18 months in spring. Alocasias like being slightly snug in their pots — don't overpot.
Common Problems
Leaves yellowing and dropping
Overwatering, cold temperatures, or natural dormancy
Reduce watering; ensure temperatures stay above 16°C; dormancy is normal in winter
Brown leaf edges
Low humidity or irregular watering
Increase humidity and maintain consistent watering routine
Spider mites
Most common pest; thrive in hot, dry conditions
Mist regularly; treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap; increase humidity
A Rather Splendid Metallic Anomaly
Goodness, another day, another dash for the kettle in this infernal British drizzle. But even the greyest skies can't dim the lustre of *Alocasia azlanii 'Variegated'*. Hailing from Brunei, Borneo, this compact jewel has ovate-cordate leaves with a metallic sheen – deep green to bronze, laced with iridescent purple venation. The variegation adds creamy sectors and pale mint marbling across the surface. A corm-former, growing in a neat rosette, the occurence of such pristine variegation in cultivation is still rather rare, keeping the price quite… eye-watering.
