Native lineage from tropical Southeast Asia, where large Alocasias grow in warm, humid environments with rich, airy soil and constant moisture moving through the root zone. Rain is frequent, but roots never sit stagnant, and light filters through open canopy with periods of brightness. This cultivar is valued for its bold size, dark stems, and unstable white variegation layered over deep green foliage. Leaves are broad, upright, and slightly glossy with splashes or sectoral white variegation, supported by thick, dark burgundy to near-black petioles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"939\"\u003eLight requirements.\u003cbr data-start=\"683\" data-end=\"686\"\u003ePrefers south and east windows.\u003cbr data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"720\"\u003ePlace at the window or within 1 ft.\u003cbr data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"758\"\u003eGrow lights 5000K–6500K.\u003cbr data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"785\"\u003e8–12 inches from canopy.\u003cbr data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"812\"\u003eFoot-candles: 1,500–3,000 for maintaining variegation and strong structure.
