Due to the sensitive and breakable nature of our products, it's understandable that damages may occur despite our meticulous packaging methods. If you find that your plant or pot has arrived in a less than satisfactory condition, please reach out to us at hello@plantsforallseasons.co.uk within a month of your delivery date.

We are committed to resolving such issues by offering a refund or a replacement, depending on the availability of the item in question.
We are unable to accept returns that are not related to damage because plants are inherently perishable and delicate. It's also worth noting that the plant you receive may slightly differ from the images displayed on our website. This variation is natural, given that each plant is unique and subject to seasonal growth changes.

Alocasia gageana ‘Aurea’ is a bold, architectural alocasia prized for its golden-yellow variegation splashed across large, paddle-shaped leaves. A more robust relative of Alocasia ‘California’, this cultivar combines dramatic size with vibrant colour, making it a true statement plant for bright indoor spaces.
This plant produces large, upright leaves with a thick, sturdy texture. The aurea variegation ranges from soft lemon washes to intense golden sectors, often becoming more pronounced on newer growth. Mature plants can reach 1–1.5 m indoors with proper care, forming a strong, clumping base rather than long runners.
Bright indirect light is essential to maintain strong variegation and healthy growth. Too little light can cause greener leaves and slower growth; too much direct sun can scorch the yellow areas. A bright room with filtered light is ideal.
Keep the compost evenly moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry, then allow excess to drain fully. Alocasias dislike drying out completely, but soggy soil will quickly lead to root problems.
High humidity is key. Aim for 60–80% if possible. Low humidity often causes crispy edges, especially on the variegated areas. A humidifier or grouping with other plants works very well for this species.
Prefers warm conditions between 18–28°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C, which can cause leaf drop or dormancy.
Use a rich but free-draining aroid mix. A blend of houseplant compost, orchid bark, perlite, and a little coco coir provides both moisture retention and airflow. Repot in spring when root-bound, going up one pot size only.
Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced or foliage-focused fertiliser at a reduced strength. Variegated plants are more sensitive to overfeeding, so keep feeds light. Stop feeding in autumn and winter.
Like many alocasias, A. gageana ‘Aurea’ may slow down or partially die back in winter. Reduce watering, keep it warm, and growth should resume in spring.
Browning edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage
Loss of variegation: Insufficient light
Drooping leaves: Cold stress or underwatering
⚠️ Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and children.
