🌿 Alocasia ‘Frydek’ Care Guide

Frydek is all about velvet elegance — deep green, arrow-shaped leaves with striking white veins that create one of the most iconic looks in the Alocasia world. Fast-growing in the right conditions and endlessly impressive, it's a must-have for any indoor jungle. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Strong filtered light encourages rich colour and healthy growth
• Avoid direct sun — velvet leaves can scorch easily
• Medium light is tolerated, but growth may slow

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy
• Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings
• Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix
• Excellent drainage is essential to prevent root rot

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)
• Higher humidity encourages larger leaves and cleaner unfurling
• Warm, stable conditions produce the healthiest growth
• Avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature changes

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced diluted liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding during cooler months or dormancy

🌱 Quick Tips

• Wipe velvet leaves gently to remove dust without damaging the surface
• Chunky substrate helps maintain healthy roots
• May become dormant during cooler months
• Rotate occasionally for balanced growth
