About Alocasia × amazonica 'Venom' Pink
Sold-listing records for this break are few enough to count on one hand, with prices ranging from just over £200 for a corm-only listing to a sold-out retail asking price near £700, among the highest recorded price gaps of any colour form tracked on this site relative to its own plain form. Alocasia × amazonica 'Venom' Pink shares the same underlying form and growth habit as Alocasia × amazonica 'Venom' (shield-shaped with elongated, fang-like tip leaves on upright rhizomatous growth), with rose-pink sectoral variegation breaking up the pale silvery-green base colour, sometimes appearing alongside a white Albo sector on the same leaf.

Before You Buy
Shared checklist for Alocasia × amazonica 'Venom' and its cultivated forms
- Check the corm is firm; a soft or shrunken corm indicates dehydration or rot and is very difficult to recover
- Verify there is at least one established leaf; avoid bare corms from unknown sellers unless you have experience germinating alocasia corms
- Spider mites are the most common pest: inspect leaf undersides for fine webbing or stippling, especially in dry indoor environments
- Alocasias can enter dormancy when stressed by shipping. A plant arriving with no leaves but a firm corm is not necessarily dead

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.

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, so 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
