Alocasia Black Satun Stardust
Alocasia Black Satun ‘Stardust’ is a striking collector Alocasia known for its dark, dramatic foliage scattered with fine mint-to-silvery speckling. The variegation can create a distinctive “stardust” or galaxy-like effect across the leaf surface, giving each new leaf its own pattern and character.
Against the deep green to near-black foliage, the lighter speckling stands out beautifully, making Black Satun Stardust especially eye-catching as the plant matures.
Why We Love It
✦ Stardust variegation: Fine mint and silvery speckling creates a scattered, galaxy-like appearance across the foliage.
✦ Dark contrast: The deep foliage provides a dramatic background that makes the lighter markings stand out.
✦ Unique leaf patterns: Each leaf can develop a different distribution of speckling, giving every plant its own character.
Care Guide
Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun, particularly during the hottest part of the day, as this may scorch the foliage.
Water: Allow the upper layer of the growing medium to begin drying before watering again. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain freely.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity with consistent airflow. Avoid stagnant, constantly wet conditions.
Temperature: Keep warm, ideally around 18–28°C. Protect from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes.
Potting Mix: Use an airy, free-draining aroid mix that retains some moisture while allowing plenty of oxygen around the roots.
Feeding: Feed during active growth according to your fertiliser manufacturer’s directions. Reduce feeding when growth slows.
Pets & Children: Harmful if eaten. Keep out of reach of pets and young children.

Young Alocasia can change considerably as they mature, with leaf size, colour and pattern becoming more pronounced over time. Variegation, speckling and future colour distribution are naturally variable and cannot be guaranteed from leaf to leaf.
