About Alocasia × amazonica 'Venom' Pink
Sold-listing records for this break are scarce 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
Propagation Guide
How to Propagate Alocasia × amazonica 'Venom' Pink
Shared across every form of Alocasia × amazonica 'Venom' — see this form's own Morphology for variegation-specific propagation notes.
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 × amazonica 'Venom' Pink Care Guide & Growing Conditions
General care shared across all forms of Alocasia × amazonica 'Venom' — cultivated forms may need brighter light or higher humidity than the plain species; check this form's Quick Facts above.
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
