Alocasia Black Satun Pink Bone

The Alocasia Black Satun Pink Bone (a distinct cultivar of Alocasia longiloba) is a rare and striking treasure found in the limestone-rich regions of southern Thailand. This jewel aroid features dramatic, elongated arrowhead leaves that transition into a deep, near-black velvet green as they mature. Its defining feature is the contrast between the dark, glossy blades and the bold, neon pink veins (or "bones") that map structurally across the leaf surface. While juvenile leaves resemble standard green longiloba forms, the rich charcoal tones and striking pink skeletal patterns intensify beautifully with age, making it a highly dynamic and sought-after centerpiece for serious collectors. How to care Light: Bright, indirect light. Filtered light is essential to develop the rich, dark foliage and keep the pink skeletal veins vibrant, but safeguard the velvet surface from scorching sun. Water: Keep the substrate evenly moist. Water as soon as the top 2 cm feels dry to the touch, ensuring the medium stays well-aerated rather than waterlogged. Humidity: High humidity is critical, ideally staying at 70% or higher. Excellent moisture levels keep the dark leaf tissue smooth and protect the tips from browning. Temperature: Warm and stable, preferring a range between 20°C and 28°C. Ensure it is protected from cold drafts, shifting temperatures, or drying air currents. Soil: An incredibly chunky, free-draining aroid mix. Combining loose materials like coarse orchid bark, perlite, pumice, and chunks of charcoal with a hint of coco coir keeps the root system perfectly aerated.
