About This Rare Azlanii

A compact Bornean species with collector-level color.

Alocasia azlanii is a compact tropical species associated with Borneo, particularly Brunei, and is known for richly colored foliage rather than enormous size. That makes it appealing to collectors who want a dramatic Alocasia that can fit more comfortably into a plant cabinet, greenhouse shelf or carefully controlled indoor growing area.

The standard species already stands apart because of its deep green to bronzy coloration and jewel-like finish. In the Pink Albo Variegated form, those darker tones can be interrupted by white, cream and pink areas that create unusually strong contrast. The combination of compact growth and high-color foliage makes this form especially attractive to people searching for rare variegated Alocasia corms.

Starting with an Alocasia azlanii Pink Albo Variegated corm gives you the opportunity to watch the plant develop from its earliest stage. You can follow the progression from the first root and visible growth point to the first emerging leaf, then watch later leaves develop more mature shape, texture and color.

Important Variegation Disclosure

Pink and albo variegation are naturally variable.

This corm comes from a Pink Albo Variegated Azlanii line, but no specific amount, color or pattern of variegation can be guaranteed. Corm-grown plants can express differently, and the first leaf does not always predict the appearance of later foliage.

Your plant may eventually produce strong pink and white variegation, balanced cream-and-green growth, subtle blush markings, bronze-and-cream marbling, low-variegation leaves or predominantly green foliage. Variegation may become stronger, weaker or simply different from one leaf to the next as the plant matures.

What You Will Receive

One carefully selected live corm.

Corms are living propagation material and naturally vary in size, shape, exterior color, surface texture and stage of development. Your corm may arrive dormant, beginning to root, showing a visible growth point or already starting to sprout. Mature-plant photos are provided for identification and growth-reference purposes only.

How to Start Your Corm

Warm. Humid. Moist—not waterlogged.

Place the corm in a clean propagation container with the pointed growth end facing upward. Keep the lower portion in contact with lightly moist media while leaving the growth point exposed or only lightly covered. Azlanii appreciates warmth and humidity, but the corm should not remain buried in saturated, stagnant material.

Perlite +

Easy moisture control with excellent airflow.

Rinse the perlite, place it into a clean cup and moisten it thoroughly. Nestle only the lower portion of the corm into the perlite with the pointed end facing upward. Keep the medium damp rather than flooded.

LECA +

A clean choice for semi-hydro propagation.

Rinse the LECA thoroughly and position the corm near the top of the clay pebbles. Keep a small reservoir below the corm so moisture can wick upward while the corm remains above the main waterline.

Sphagnum Moss +

Helpful for stable humidity around the corm.

Soak the moss and squeeze out excess water until it is damp rather than dripping. Loosely surround the lower portion of the corm and avoid tightly packing wet moss around the entire surface.

Fluval Stratum +

Useful for steady moisture in a compact propagation setup.

Place moist Stratum into a clean cup and position the corm with the growth point upward. Keep the lower portion in contact with the substrate without burying the entire corm.

Puddle Method +

Simple to observe while roots begin developing.

Use only a shallow amount of clean water at the bottom of the container. The base of the corm should have access to moisture while most of the corm and the growth point remain above the water.

Airy Aroid Mix +

A practical option when you prefer fewer substrate changes.

Use a loose mix with plenty of air space and keep the growth point exposed. Maintain light, even moisture while new roots form, and avoid dense or waterlogged media.

Care After Sprouting

Transition slowly once roots and leaves are established.

After the corm has developed a healthy root system and begins producing leaves, move it gradually into a chunky, well-draining aroid substrate. A smaller pot that matches the developing root system is usually easier to manage than an oversized container that stays wet for long periods.

Keep the young plant in bright indirect light and maintain stable warmth. Pink, cream and white tissue contains less chlorophyll and can be more sensitive to harsh direct sun. If the plant has been growing in very high humidity, reduce humidity gradually rather than moving it abruptly into dry room air.

Color Development

Azlanii color can deepen as each leaf hardens.

Fresh Azlanii foliage may open lighter, softer or more translucent before becoming firmer and darker. Pink sections can appear blush, rose or pale cream depending on the leaf and stage of development, while green portions may deepen into bronze, olive or jewel-toned shades.

The term Pink Albo Variegated identifies the collector form and variegated line. It does not guarantee visible pink or white on every leaf or a fixed percentage of variegated tissue.

Shipping & Live-Corm Notice

Every corm is living propagation material.

Your corm may arrive dormant, rooted or unrooted, beginning to sprout, showing a visible growth point, carrying dry outer layers or displaying minor natural discoloration. These differences are normal for living plant material.

Dry exterior material, natural brown coloration and small cosmetic marks are not automatically signs that a corm is unhealthy. Open your package promptly after delivery, inspect the corm and move it into an appropriate propagation environment.
