Alocasia Bambino Pink Variegated Corm

Grow a highly sought-after collector Alocasia from its earliest stage with an Alocasia Bambino Pink Variegated corm.

This compact Alocasia is admired for its narrow, arrow-shaped foliage and dramatic variegation that may appear in shades of green, cream, white and blush pink. Each emerging leaf can develop a different pattern, making this an exciting choice for collectors who enjoy growing rare Alocasias from corms.

The Bambino cultivar is commonly classified as Alocasia × amazonica ‘Bambino Arrow’, a compact-growing Alocasia known for its narrow dark-green leaves and contrasting veins. The pink-variegated form adds unpredictable light and pink-toned markings to that distinctive foliage.

This listing is for one Alocasia corm—not a rooted starter plant or mature plant.

What You Will Receive

You will receive:

• One Alocasia Bambino Pink Variegated corm
• Corm produced by a variegated parent plant
• One individually selected corm
• Careful packaging for shipment

The mature leaf shown in the product image represents the type of plant from which the corm was produced. The photographed mature plant is not included.

Corms naturally vary in:

• Size
• Shape
• Exterior color
• Root development
• Growth-point development
• Dormancy or sprouting stage

Your corm may arrive dormant, beginning to root or already showing a small growth point.

Why Collectors Love Alocasia Bambino Pink Variegated

Alocasia Bambino is especially desirable for collectors with limited growing space because it maintains a more compact growth habit than many larger Alocasias. Its elongated leaves, defined veins and upright appearance make it suitable for shelves, plant cabinets and carefully controlled indoor growing areas. The standard Bambino cultivar is described as a compact, tender perennial that develops arrow-shaped dark foliage with contrasting pale veins.

The pink-variegated form may produce foliage featuring:

• Dark or medium-green sections
• Cream or white sectoral variegation
• Mint-green marbling
• Pale blush markings
• Stronger pink sections
• Speckled or splash-style patterns

No two plants—or even two leaves on the same plant—are guaranteed to look identical.

Important Variegation Disclosure

This corm is produced by an Alocasia Bambino Pink Variegated parent plant. However, corm-grown variegation is naturally unpredictable.

The resulting plant may produce:

• Strong pink variegation
• White or cream variegation
• Balanced green and variegated growth
• Mint or pale-green markings
• Low-variegation foliage
• Predominantly green foliage
• Highly pale or nearly all-pink leaves

Variegation may change from one leaf to the next as the plant grows. A corm produced by a variegated parent does not guarantee a specific amount, pattern or color of variegation.

The exact appearance of the mature parent plant shown in the photograph is therefore not guaranteed.

How to Sprout Your Alocasia Bambino Corm

Place the corm in a clean propagation container with a lightly moist medium. Common options include:

• Damp sphagnum moss
• Perlite
• Fluval Stratum
• A shallow-water propagation setup
• A light and airy aroid propagation mix

Position the corm so the pointed growth end faces upward. Nestle the lower portion into the medium while keeping the top growth point exposed or only lightly covered.

Provide:

• Warm temperatures
• High humidity
• Bright, indirect light
• Lightly moist propagation material
• Clean conditions
• Gentle airflow

Avoid keeping the corm submerged in soggy material. Excessive moisture and stagnant conditions can increase the risk of rot.

Sprouting time varies considerably. Some corms begin rooting quickly, while others may remain dormant for several weeks or longer.

Care After Sprouting

Once the corm has developed a healthy root system and begun producing leaves, gradually transfer it into a chunky, well-draining aroid substrate.

A suitable mix may include:

• Coco coir or quality potting mix
• Perlite or pumice
• Fine orchid bark
• Horticultural charcoal
• Other airy aroid amendments

Place the young plant in bright, indirect light. Variegated plants need adequate light to support growth, but harsh direct sunlight may scorch pale or pink sections.

Keep the growing medium lightly and consistently moist without leaving it waterlogged. Young Alocasias generally prefer warmth, elevated humidity and stable growing conditions.

Avoid sudden changes in:

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Lighting
• Watering frequency
• Growing medium

Gradual transitions help reduce stress while the young plant becomes established.

Pink Variegation Notice

Pink coloring can vary in intensity depending on the individual plant, leaf maturity, growing conditions and genetics.

New foliage may emerge with stronger pink or cream coloring and later change in appearance as it hardens. Some leaves may display obvious pink sections, while others may appear primarily cream, white, mint or green.

The words “Pink Variegated” identify the parent plant and collector form. They do not guarantee that every leaf produced will contain visible pink coloring.

Shipping and Live-Corm Notice

This is a living propagation product. Its appearance and growth stage may naturally change during storage, packaging and transportation.

Your corm may arrive:

• Dormant
• Rooted or unrooted
• Beginning to sprout
• With a visible growth point
• With dry exterior material
• With minor natural discoloration
• In a different stage than another customer’s corm

Dry outer layers, small surface marks and natural color variation are not automatically signs that a corm is unhealthy.

Open the package promptly after delivery, inspect the corm and place it into suitable propagation conditions.

Grow a Rare Pink Alocasia from the Beginning

An Alocasia Bambino Pink Variegated corm is an excellent choice for collectors who enjoy propagation and want to experience the full development of a rare Alocasia.

With patience and proper growing conditions, your corm may develop into a compact collector plant with narrow foliage and beautiful combinations of green, cream, white, mint and pink.

Order your Alocasia Bambino Pink Variegated corm while available. Quantities are naturally limited by the number of corms produced by healthy parent plants.
