Alocasia Frydek, also known as Alocasia Green Velvet, is a unique tropical plant with deeply veined dark green leaves. Favored by growers for their arrow-shaped leaves and velvety-green foliage, this alocasia plant is growing in popularity with houseplant enthusiasts across the country. They thrive in warm, humid environments with bright, filtered sun and moist, organically rich soils.

These plants appreciate humidity, so mist their foliage regularly, use a humidifier, or keep it in a bathroom near a window to keep it healthy.

Alocasia Frydek can reach a mature height of up to 3 feet tall if given proper care. This plant has the potential to flower (spathe and spadix type) but typically only in its natural environment. If you keep your alocasia indoors, it can be repotted once every two years. A well-draining soil with perlite or sand is best to maintain its robust root system happy.

Of all the clean air plants studied by NASA, alocasias were among the few that removed all of the tested toxins from the air, including benzene, toluene, xylene, trichloroethylene, ammonia, and formaldehyde. If you plant your alocasia outdoors in a tropical garden in the summertime, dig it up before the first frost and allow it to overwinter in a pot indoors.
