Returns Simplified.Alocasia Golden Bone is a breathtaking tropical hybrid known for its brilliant golden-yellow venation and deep emerald foliage. A member of the Araceae family, this rare variety has quickly become a collectors favourite thanks to its luminous contrast and elegant upright form.
The arrow-shaped leaves are thick, glossy, and dark green, with a distinctive golden midrib and lateral veins that radiate outward like a skeleton of light the feature that gives this plant its striking name. The undersides are subtly tinged with purple, adding further dimension. When mature, the plant develops strong, upright petioles that display each leaf like a sculptural piece of art.
Regal yet refined, Alocasia Golden Bone makes an unforgettable statement indoors, combining vibrant colour with the signature architecture and poise of the Alocasia genus.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. A few hours of soft morning or filtered sunlight will help maintain its vibrant golden veins. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, and low light, which may fade the distinctive colouring.
Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top 23 cm feels dry. Alocasias dislike extremes both overwatering and dryness can cause stress. In cooler months or during dormancy, allow the soil to dry slightly more between waterings.
Temperature: Prefers 2028C; avoid temperatures below 16C and protect from draughts.
Humidity: High humidity (6080%) is ideal. Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or place on a pebble tray to keep the air around the plant moist.
Use a well-aerated, moisture-retentive aroid mix composed of compost, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. This ensures airflow while holding enough moisture for the roots. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the soil and give the root system room to expand.
Feed every 46 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. Too much fertiliser can damage the sensitive roots and reduce leaf gloss. Pause feeding during autumn and winter.
Remove any yellow or aged leaves at the base to encourage new growth. Wipe the foliage gently with a soft, damp cloth to maintain its shine and enhance the golden veining. Rotate the pot regularly for balanced light exposure.
A moderate grower, typically reaching 6090 cm in height and spread indoors. In ideal conditions, Golden Bone produces new leaves steadily throughout the growing season. Each new leaf emerges a lighter green before deepening in tone and developing its vivid golden contrast.
Yellow leaves: Overwatering or cold temperatures.
Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.
Drooping: Temperature shock or excessive dryness.
Pests: Occasionally spider mites, thrips, or aphids; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Alocasia Golden Bone is a hybrid selection bred for its brilliant venation and resilience, combining the tropical allure of the classic Elephant Ear with modern ornamental appeal. It likely descends from Alocasia longiloba or Alocasia micholitziana lineages, both known for their striking veined foliage.
Beyond its beauty, this plant contributes to air purification and helps maintain humidity in indoor spaces. Its radiant contrast of green and gold brings warmth and sophistication, making it a perfect feature for collectors or interior designers seeking a high-impact tropical statement.
