About the Alocasia Bambino Pink Variegata

Alocasia ‘Bambino Pink Variegata’ is a highly sought-after and rare variegated variety of Alocasia with a truly mesmerising appearance. Its elongated, arrowhead-shaped leaves display an extraordinary mix of deep green, creamy white, and soft pink variegation, creating a one-of-a-kind botanical masterpiece. Each leaf is unique, with splashes of pastel pink, making this plant a statement piece in any collection.

A Plant with a Story

Alocasias have long been prized for their exotic beauty, originating from tropical rainforests across Southeast Asia. The ‘Bambino’ variety is a compact, more manageable version of larger Alocasias, perfect for indoor environments. The pink variegation in this cultivar makes it particularly rare, as stable pink tones in Alocasias are difficult to achieve and maintain. This plant has quickly become a grail plant among collectors, with only a limited number available worldwide.

Care Guide

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 2cm of soil feels dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Light: Requires bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. Too little light can cause the pink tones to fade, while direct sun may scorch the delicate leaves.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (above 60%). Regular misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier will help replicate its tropical habitat and keep it happy.

Best Room: Ideal for well-lit living rooms, home offices, or bathrooms where humidity levels are naturally higher.

Pet Safe? No—Alocasia Bambino Pink Variegata is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious cats and dogs.

Beginner or Advanced? Best suited for intermediate to advanced plant enthusiasts due to its specific humidity and lighting needs.
