Striking, architectural, and richly coloured, Alocasia Yucatan Princess Aurea is a rare variegated form of the much-loved Yucatan Princess, distinguished by its dramatic dark stems and bold foliage washed with warm aurea variegation. The contrast between deep green leaves, golden-yellow marbling, and rich burgundy to near-black petioles creates a powerful, refined look that continues to deepen as the plant matures.
Each plant develops completely unique variegation, with no two leaves ever the same. New growth often emerges with fresh patterns, making this a plant that rewards patience and attention over time. Its upright structure and strong presence make it easy to place while still delivering visual impact.

🌿 How I’ve Cared for it.
Every plant parent has their own rhythm, and your new leafy mate will slowly adjust to yours. But here’s how I’ve kept her thriving here with me.
✅ Watered with rainwater. You can use filtered water too. These plants are sensitive to overwatering—go easy, me lover. I mist with a humidifier.
✅ Feed when water with Sillica Force, Superthrive Foliage Pro, Cal-Mag, & hydrogen peroxide.
✅ Healthy established plant full of life with decent roots 🌱
💧Water when the pot indicates its needed don't be tempted to over water they don’t like soggy roots & will start to rot.
🦟 All my plants are protected using a regular misting routine of SB Plant Invigorator and silica weekly alongside nematodes - prevention is always better than cure. If you can keep this up. Also a simple shower every now and then is great it removes dust and pests
☀️ Thrives best in bright, indirect light – think near a north or east-facing window with dappled sunlight. Keep the balance right, and this leafy character will reward you with steady, vibrant growth. I have found that the use of Silica Force helps with maintaining larger patches of variegated leaf. It makes a big difference its worth adding to your routine.
