Alocasia Mickey Mouse

(Botanical Name: Alocasia x calidora variegata, Common Name: Mickey Mouse Alocasia)

Appearance:
The Mickey Mouse Alocasia is a show-stopping tropical plant that lives up to its playful name. Its large, heart-shaped leaves are boldly variegated with splashes of creamy white, soft yellow, and rich green, often forming patterns that resemble the iconic silhouette of Mickey Mouse. As the plant matures, its striking variegation becomes more dramatic, making each leaf a unique piece of living art. With its upright growth habit and bold foliage, it makes a stunning statement plant indoors or on a shaded patio.

Ideal Growing Conditions:
This Alocasia thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates a warm, humid environment that mimics its tropical origins. Keep the soil consistently moist but well-draining, and avoid letting it fully dry out. Humidity levels above 60% are ideal, making it a great candidate for a humidifier or placement in a naturally humid space. Protect it from direct harsh sunlight, which can scorch the delicate variegated portions of its leaves, and bring it indoors if temperatures drop below 60°F.

The Mickey Mouse Alocasia is prized for its rare, unpredictable variegation—no two plants look alike. Its playful patterns make it a favorite among collectors and a conversation piece for anyone looking to add a tropical, whimsical touch to their home or garden. It’s a perfect blend of rarity, beauty, and personality.

Note About Variation:
Please note that each Mickey Mouse Alocasia is unique, and leaf variegation will vary based on individual growth and seasonal availability.
