philodendron lauterbachiana Alocasia lauterbachiana Variegata – Foliage FactoryAlocasia lauterbachiana variegata Alocasia lauterbachiana variegata is the variegated Purple Sword Alocasia: long serrated leaves, purple undersides and irregular pale patterning across the upper surface. Cream, white, pale mint or yellowish sections break through the green blade, while the plant keeps the upright stem and narrow leaf shape of the green species. Variegated Alocasia lauterbachiana shares the same species background as the green form:

Alocasia lauterbachiana variegata

Alocasia lauterbachiana variegata is the variegated Purple Sword Alocasia: long serrated leaves, purple undersides and irregular pale patterning across the upper surface. Cream, white, pale mint or yellowish sections break through the green blade, while the plant keeps the upright stem and narrow leaf shape of the green species.

Variegated Alocasia lauterbachiana shares the same species background as the green form: northern New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago. It grows in warm lowland rainforest near river edges and forest margins. Care is similar to the green form, with extra attention to pale tissue.

Variegated sword foliage

The leaves are long, pointed and serrated, with the widest part closer to the base and a narrow extension toward the tip. Variegation appears as streaks, sectors, mottling or irregular patches across the green upper surface. The underside remains purple to brown-purple, so both leaf surfaces show different colouring.

Pale areas contain little or no chlorophyll. They create the contrast, but they contribute less to growth than green tissue and mark more easily from heat, direct sun, hard-water residue and strong fertiliser. A healthy plant usually carries a mix of greener and paler leaves.

Care for variegated Purple Sword Alocasia

  • Light for green tissue: Clear indirect light supports the green parts that power growth and helps the upright petioles develop well. Place pale sections out of hot direct sun.
  • Watering: Let pot weight and root warmth guide watering. The substrate should stay lightly moist during active growth while still drying enough for air to return.
  • Substrate: Use an airy, moisture-retentive mix with bark, coco husk and mineral drainage.
  • Temperature: Stable warmth helps variegated plants recover after transport, repotting or leaf loss.
  • Humidity: Raised humidity reduces dry marks on pale edges and helps long leaves unfold more evenly.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly to moderately only while roots and leaves are active. Pale tissue is more prone to salt marks from strong feeding.
  • Container: Use a stable draining pot. Move up in small steps as roots fill the container and the plant gains height.

Leaf pattern, growth rhythm and setbacks

Each new leaf can look different. Some leaves open greener, some show stronger pale sections, and colours often sharpen as the blade hardens. A greener leaf still supports the stem and roots.

The plant may slow in darker months or after repotting. During slower growth, water less often and keep conditions warm. Repotting, division and stem cutting are safest once new leaves or roots are active.

Common issues:

  • Brown marks on pale tissue: Sun scorch, heat stress, residue, fertiliser salts and contact damage are the first causes to check.
  • Yellowing leaves: The lower mix may be staying too wet or too cool.
  • Weak petioles: Poor roots, low light or unstable watering are common causes.
  • Small leaves: Stress, seasonal slowdown or root disturbance can reduce the next leaf size.
  • Pests: Thrips and spider mites often show early on pale tissue, serrated edges and leaf backs.

Leave marked but green leaves on the plant when they still function. Cut only leaves that have fully yellowed or collapsed. Propagation is by division, offsets or stem sections during active growth.

This variegated Alocasia contains calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and children that may nibble plant parts, especially during pruning or division. The word variegata describes the patterned leaves; lauterbachiana honours Karl Lauterbach.

Game Changer for Coffee Lovers
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
I purchased the Circle Joy Rechargeable frother mostly because of the price. The frothy-whipped cream is a treat on the weekends, and the last hand frother I purchased zapped out. WoW - this one is amazing! The last one I had was battery operated, and wasn't as fast as this one. I now use it everyday because it works so quickly. It comes with a "lid" for the blender part, so I can toss in my briefcase. Love that recharges quickly so its ready when I am. Great price, easy to use, looks sleek, and tiny enough to take with you. LOVE, FiVE Stars

Great for short term
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
Works great when it works.... But I've bought three this year and two of them just unexpectedly died with no logical reason. Giving up and trying a new brand for my protein coffee drinks. *Edit....after original review the seller offered a refund and apologized for the issues I had. Bumping up my rating for proactive customer service and trying to make things right.

Great buy!
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
Great product. I'm glad I bought this to replace my old, cheap one that I got from Ikea. I like that it has double whisk as it does froth my liquids really well. I like the speed of it and it's easy to use and wash. The battery life is pretty long as well. I haven't charged it since I got it.

Pretty darn good frother...
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
This is a pretty darn good frother/whisk, which we use primarily for mixing Crystal Light and LMNT drinks. It holds a charge for a long time and it is easy to recharge with the USB-C port and cable. My only complaint is that you must hold the power button continuously while operating it which is challenging to do using tall cups. It would be much better if is was a two stage on-off switch and had a longer wand, which isn't as long as it could be. But the unit is lightweight, easy to use and very versatile. Overall, I would buy it again.

Works great!
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
I bought this because the frother I had was very weak. Even with new batteries, it just never had much oomph. I liked the idea of it being rechargeable and no more batteries! I expected to have to charge it when it came, but it had full power. I have used it every day since it arrived, and it hasn't slowed down a bit. It is easy to use, just pushing down with my thumb on the top. I also love that it has a lid/case. When I bring it on a trip it is fully protected from damage. I highly recommend this frother. It is the best one I have had - and I have had quite a few.
