Variegated areas contain less chlorophyll than green tissue, but strong direct sun can still scorch the leaves. Increase light gradually after moving the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWatering and substrate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a structured, aerated substrate that retains some moisture without remaining waterlogged. Water thoroughly, allow excess water to drain and adjust the next watering to the plant’s root activity, temperature and drying rate rather than following a fixed schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTemperature and humidity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintain warm, stable conditions and protect the plant from cold draughts and chilled windows. Moderate to high humidity can support leaf expansion, but humidity should be accompanied by gentle airflow. During darker UK winter conditions, growth and water use may slow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVariegation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariegation is naturally variable and cannot be guaranteed on every future leaf. Pink tones may also change as leaves mature. Assess the balance of healthy green tissue, active growth and root condition rather than judging the plant from one leaf alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you will receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen restocked, this listing will supply one established Alocasia Black Velvet Pink Variegated in a 9 cm nursery pot.
