The Alocasia Heart Balloon Aurea Variegata is an exceptionally rare collector's item with characteristically balloon-like, heart-shaped leaves and a vibrant golden-yellow aurea variegation . Even as a rhizome, it possesses the full potential to become a plant that impresses with its form, color, and stability of variegation.

Here you will receive healthy corms or rhizomes , from which – with patience, warmth, and proper care – a spectacular aurea-variegated Heart Balloon will develop. The variegation can range from fine golden speckles to strong, cloudy aurea patches and remains stable from leaf to leaf under good conditions. Each rhizome is genetically unique and develops its own individual pattern.

Ideal for collectors who enjoy growing extremely rare Variegata themselves and experiencing the journey from rhizome to fully grown Aurea-Alocasia.
