Alocasia Macrorrhiza 'New Guinea Gold'

New Guinea Gold – An unusual form from Papua New Guinea that has a peculiar habit of producing variegated leaves only at certain times of the year (typically late summer through Autumn) occasionally missing out entirely in a year. This is not a typical case of variegation reversion since for the most part the plant does return to producing variegated leaves each year. There seems to be no apparent reason for this behaviour. This very beautiful plant is quite different from the typical elephant ear. This variety makes an excellent container plant as well as a beautiful landscape plant for the tropical garden. The growth rate and leaf colour of New Guinea Gold will vary greatly depending on soil type, sunlight, temperature and other factors.
