Alocasia Simpo Budo Dwarf Aurea Variegated

Alocasia Simpo Budo Dwarf Aurea Variegated — exact specimen pictured. Variegation: aurea (gold).

The Vibe: You know that little thrill when a plant looks hand-painted just for you? That's her. Her upper leaf is heavily marbled in butter-yellow and cream swirled over green, while the lower leaf stays a deep, calm green with only faint golden flecks — two moods in one tiny frame. She sits in a clear cup of moss and bark, small enough to tuck anywhere and bright enough to pull every eye in the room.

Simpo Budo is loved for staying dwarf, with thick, glossy, textured leaves that feel substantial for their size. Add aurea gold to that compact habit and you get a shelf plant with the color punch of a much bigger collector piece. She's made for a windowsill, a cabinet or a desk where you can see her up close every day.

A dwarf this richly marbled rarely sits on our bench for long, and there is only one of her.

What You Will Receive:

• 🌱 The Exact Plant Pictured: The very Simpo Budo in these photos — the butter-and-cream marbled leaf over her deep green partner — ready to brighten your shelf.
• ✨ A note on her variegation: Most of her gold is concentrated in that heavily marbled upper leaf, so each new leaf will show its own amount of color — beautiful to watch, and never guaranteed to repeat.

Grower's Pro Tip:
Gold-marbled tissue makes less energy than green, so give her strong, bright indirect light to keep the butter-yellow clean and her growth steady. Let the moss-and-bark mix dry just slightly at the surface before watering, and keep her warm. When she's ready to size up, move her into Root-Phoria Diva, our premium Alocasia mix, for airy, healthy roots.
