Alocasia Simpo Albo-Tissue Culture Growers Choice

🌿 Alocasia "Simpo Albo"

🍃 Leaves

• Shape:
  • Narrow arrowhead to shield-like leaves
  • Deeply defined lobes (Polly-type structure)
• Size:
  • Compact, smaller leaves compared to full-sized Alocasias
• Texture:
  • Smooth to slightly glossy surface

🎨 Albo Variegation (key feature)

• Color pattern:
  • Deep green base
  • Irregular white or creamy "albo" sections
• Forms include:
  • Sectoral (large white blocks)
  • Marbled swirls
  • Speckled or patchy variegation
• Each leaf is unique and unpredictable

🌱 Growth Habit

• Compact, upright rosette form
• Typically stays small indoors (1–2 ft max)
• Slower growth than non-variegated Alocasias due to reduced chlorophyll

🌡️ Care Guide

☀️ Light

• Bright, indirect light
• Essential for maintaining variegation
• Too little light → loss of white pattern or weak growth
• Too much sun → burns white areas easily

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist but well-draining
• Allow top layer to dry slightly between watering
• Sensitive to overwatering (root rot risk)

💦 Humidity

• Prefers 60–80% humidity
• Helps prevent browning on white tissue
