Alocasia macrorrhizos ‘Aurea’ is a golden variegated form of the giant taro, loved for its oversized tropical leaves marked with glowing yellow, lime and green tones. The species has deep roots in tropical Asia and the Pacific, where giant taro has long been grown for its bold foliage and cultural importance. This aurea form brings that same dramatic jungle presence in a rare collector plant with incredible display potential.
Light 🌞
Bright, indirect light is best. A little gentle morning sun can help support stronger color, but avoid harsh afternoon sun that can scorch the pale variegated areas.
Watering 💧
Keep the soil lightly and evenly moist, allowing the top layer to begin drying before watering again. Avoid letting it fully dry out for long periods.
Soil 🕳️
Use a chunky, rich, well draining aroid mix with bark, perlite, coco chips or pumice to keep the roots oxygenated.
Fertilizing 🧪
Feed during active growth with a balanced fertilizer at a gentle strength. Reduce feeding when growth slows.
Repotting 🪴
Repot when rootbound or when the plant becomes top heavy. Choose a sturdy pot with drainage.
