Hybrid from Alocasia gageana × Alocasia odora and a variegated form of 'Pink Dragon'. Yellow/Green variegated glossy, elongated dark green leaves marked by silvery veins, each leaf held on a bright pink petiole. Rarely flowers indoors, though mature outdoor plants can produce a typical greenish-white aroid inflorescence. A hybrid selection prized for its two-toned leaves and vivid pink stems, which stay brightest with enough light. Commonly grown in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with high humidity and consistently moist, never soggy, soil.
