About the species
Alocasia micholitziana 'Frydek Variegata'
The variegated form of 'Frydek' (Green Velvet): sharply defined white patches and sectors appear on the velvety, white-veined, dark green leaves; every leaf is different. Collector's note: the name 'Frydek' (originally 'Freydyk') first referred to a golden-variegated form, but today it is used for all variegated micholitziana forms, including the white one. It grows more slowly than the green form.
