Alocasia 'Sarian' Albo

An Albo colour break of the popular zebrina x micholitziana 'Frydek' hybrid, splitting the sagittate leaf into crisp white and green sectors while leaving the hybrid's signature zebra-striped petioles untouched. Alocasia 'Sarian' Albo shares the same underlying form and growth habit as Alocasia 'Sarian' (sagittate with wavy/serrated margins leaves on self-heading growth), with crisp white sectoral variegation splitting the sagittate blade into clean green-and-white fields, the pale zebra-banded petioles unaffected.
