Alocasia New Guinea Gold

---

Alocasia New Guinea Gold is a form of Macrorrhiza and had dark green foliage with pinkish petioles. It seems that for no real reason the plant will turn almost completely yellow for a few months and then go back to normal in an odd cycle of variegation. It is this reason this plant has been misidentified and misunderstood for so many years. A great variegated plant with a very unique personality. Plants can grow 6 to 10 feet tall and foliage will turn yellow as the plant feels compelled to do so. It is an oddity in the Alocasia and Aroid world.

The plants offered are in 4 1/2 inch pots.
