Alocasia Chantrieri Pink Variegated

Alocasia Chantrieri Pink Variegated

A rare collector Alocasia Chantrieri Pink Variegated with dramatic dark metallic foliage, prominent veining, sculptural wavy margins, and contrasting pink variegation.

Alocasia ‘Chantrieri’ is commonly described as a hybrid of Alocasia sanderiana × Alocasia cuprea, combining the structured leaf shape of sanderiana with the metallic character of cuprea. The pink-variegated form can develop blush, marbled, streaked, or sectoral pink patterns, making every leaf unique.

This listing is for a rooted, established plant. The photos show the exact specimen you will receive. What you see is what you receive.

WHY COLLECTORS LOVE IT

Alocasia Chantrieri is distinctive even without variegation. Its dark metallic foliage, pronounced veins, and rippled edges create a dramatic appearance, while the pink variegation adds striking contrast.

Each new leaf can develop differently. Some leaves may show subtle pink marbling or streaks, while others may produce larger pink sectors. Because variegation is naturally variable, future leaves are not guaranteed to reproduce the exact pattern of the existing foliage.

CARE

Light: Bright, indirect light. Good filtered light supports healthy growth and variegation, while intense direct sunlight may damage lighter pink areas.

Water: Keep the growing medium lightly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the upper portion of the substrate to begin drying before watering again.

Humidity: Around 60% or higher is ideal, with good airflow.

Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally around 20–28°C.

Substrate: Use a chunky, airy, fast-draining aroid mix. Good root aeration is especially important for Alocasia.

PINK VARIEGATION

Pink variegation can change from leaf to leaf as the plant grows. Light, temperature, maturity, nutrition, and overall growing conditions may influence future coloration.

Highly variegated sections contain less chlorophyll than green tissue and may grow more slowly or develop cosmetic browning over time. This can be normal for highly variegated Alocasia.

SHIPPING WITHIN CANADA

This is a rooted, established Alocasia, not an unrooted cutting or newly deflasked tissue culture plant.

The exact specimen shown in the photos will be shipped to you within Canada and carefully packed to protect the foliage and root system during transit.

Minor cosmetic changes can occur during shipping or acclimation. New growth after arrival is the best indicator that the plant has successfully adjusted to its new environment.
