ALOCASIA MICHOLITZIANA ‘GREEN VELVET’

CULTIVAR DESCRIPTION: Alocasia micholitziana ‘Green Velvet’ is the most widely grown cultivar of Alocasia micholitziana, characterized by prominent white veins on a dark green velvet adaxial leaf surface

Though widely sold under the incorrect cultivar name of Alocasia micholitziana ‘Frydek’, botanical precedence in literature ascribes the ‘Green Velvet’ cultivar name to be the correct one. It is occasionally also referred to as Alocasia micholitziana ‘Maxkowskii’, thought that cultivar name is no longer valid. Please see the page for Alocasia micholitziana for more detail.
