Alocasia Gageana is a beautiful house plant that is native to the tropical forests of South East Asia. This particular variation, Alocasia Gageana Albo, is the variegated form of Alocasia Gageana. This rare house plant offers beautiful variegation with varying shades of green, cream and white. Sometimes referred to as the dwarf elephant ear plant, Alocasia Gageana Albo is a relatively easy-going Alocasia plant that is sure to impress. Care is similar to other species of Alocasia and include a well-aerated growing medium, higher humidity levels between 60-80% and bright, indirect light. Fertilizer may be given sparingly and watering should only be performed when the soil is dry. An important note to take away is this rare house plant's sensitivity to transport. Frequent repotting and/or movement should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Even so, Alocasia will show stress signs when disrupted but should bounce back fairly quick provided the mother plant is well cared for and healthy.

It's important to not overwater Alocasia and erring on the side of underwatering is better between the two. Humidity can be increased via use of a humidifier or pebble tray. Alternatively, placing your plant near a planted aquarium will help as well! Lack of humidity may cause brown edges and drying leaves. This can result in increased stress levels and will make Alocasia more susceptible to illness, disease and pests. It should be noted that Alocasia cannot be propagated via cuttings and must be propagated via bulbs produced at the base of the mother plant. A rare and beautiful house plant, Alocasia are mildly toxic and care should be taken if being placed in a home with household pets or children.
