Alocasia cucullata variegata, also known as the Variegated Buddha’s Hand, is a stunning and rare houseplant variety of the Alocasia cucullata, prized for its striking variegated leaves. It is known for its lush, glossy leaves that typically have a unique mix of green and creamy-white or pale-yellow markings, creating a beautiful contrast. This Alocasia variety is native to Southeast Asia and thrives in tropical, humid environments.

It requires bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. If exposed to too much direct sunlight, the leaves may scorch, while too little light can cause the plant to lose its variegation and grow more uniformly green. The plant prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil and should be watered regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. It's important not to let the soil stay too soggy, as Alocasia plants are sensitive to root rot.

Overall, Alocasia cucullata variegata is a beautiful, rare, and low-maintenance plant that adds a touch of exotic elegance to any home. With its striking variegated foliage and tropical appearance, it is a fantastic choice for plant collectors looking to add something special to their indoor garden.
