Alocasia ‘Frydek’, also known as Green Velvet Alocasia is a stunningly beautiful variety of Alocasia that has grown massively in popularity over the last few years.
It does best in bright, indirect light. It can be quite sensitive to light intensity and can suffer when it either gets too much or too little light.
More than 1-2 hours of direct sunlight per day will normally result in leaf scorching and brown edges or tips on the leaves.
In insufficient light, Alocasia Frydek will grow very slowly, taking a long time to grow new leaves. Alocasias also have a tendency for the lower leaves to turn yellow as they age, so a plant that is not growing sufficiently can soon look sickly and sparse. Alocasia are also more prone to overwatering in low light conditions as the soil will take longer to dry out.
Considering the beauty of the leaves is the key attraction, I would advise keeping your Alocasia Frydek where it gets bright, indirect light.
