Alocasia Balloon Heart Aurea Variegated

Alocasia Balloon Heart Aurea Variegated — exact specimen pictured. Variegation: aurea (gold) washing through the veins and blade. Thick, puffed, heart-shaped leaves. Rooted in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix.

The Vibe: Plump, heart-shaped, and dipped in gold. The Alocasia Balloon Heart gets her name from those thick, puffed-up, quilted leaves that look almost inflated — and in this Aurea form they come washed with molten gold-chartreuse pooling through the veins and blade against deep, glossy green. She's chunky, tactile, and completely charming, the kind of plant that makes people reach out to touch a leaf. Aurea Balloon Hearts are a rare treat, and this exact gold pattern is hers alone. When one shows up, collectors don't wait around.

What You Will Receive:

• 🌱 The Exact Plant Pictured: This is a one-of-a-kind, WYSIWYG plant — you'll receive the exact rooted plant shown in the photos and video.
• ✨ A note on her color: Aurea is a living pigment pattern — each new leaf emerges with its own distribution of gold, so no two flushes are ever the same.

Grower's Pro Tip:
She's already rooted and established in a chunky, airy mix, so she's off to a strong start — keep her warm, humid, and in bright indirect light. Keep a bag of our premium Alocasia substrate, Root-Phoria Diva, on hand for her next repot and she won't miss a beat.
