Alocasia Pink Chantrieri Tissue Culture-Growers Choice

🌿 Alocasia "Pink Chantrieri"

🍃 Leaves

• Shape: Elongated, arrowhead to lance-shaped leaves with slightly wavy margins — elegant, narrow profile with a gently tapering tip
• Coloration: Deep green to near-black upper surface with striking pink to rosy-toned undersides — midrib and primary veins may carry a subtle pinkish hue, especially on newer growth
• Reminiscent of the dark, moody foliage of Alocasia chantrieri, paired with enhanced pink pigmentation especially beneath the leaves — high contrast between dark upper leaf surface and pink undersides with a slender, refined leaf shape compared to broader Alocasia types
• Texture: Smooth, slightly velvety to satin-matte finish — leaves are thinner than "dragon scale" types but still structured

🌱 Growth Habit

• Compact to moderately upright aroid — grows from a central rhizome
• Produces leaves sequentially from the base; maintains a relatively elegant, upright silhouette
• Moderate growth rate under stable conditions
• Mature plants develop more pronounced leaf length and shape definition with stronger pink pigmentation on undersides

🌡️ Care Guide

☀️ Light

• Bright, indirect light preferred
• Supports deep, rich top-leaf coloration and development of pink tones beneath
• Too little light → faded upper leaf color and reduced pink intensity

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy — water when the top layer begins to dry
• Use a well-draining, airy aroid mix with a consistent watering routine
• Avoid overwatering (rhizome rot risk) and allowing soil to fully dry out for long periods
