About Alocasia lauterbachiana Aurea

Retailers distinguish a 'True Aurea' break from milder gold mottling on this species, reflecting real variation in how strongly the colour break expresses between individual plants. Alocasia lauterbachiana Aurea shares the same underlying form and growth habit as Alocasia lauterbachiana (long, narrow sword-like leaves on self-heading, upright growth), with gold-yellow sectoral variegation along the sword-shaped leaf blade, sold in the trade as 'true aurea' to distinguish it from lighter mottling.
