Is there a difference between Alocasia Frydek and Alocasi...

I just got this plant yesterday. It was listed as a Frydek by the person selling it. But when trying to identify it on Greg it was hard to pin point if it was one or the other. #PlantAddict #NewPlantMom #ADHDPLANTLOVERS #NeurodivergentandPlanty #AlocasiaAddicts #AlocasiaFrydek #Alocasia

@nellz4estfairyz An Alocasia Frydek is the same as an Alocasia Micholitziana “Green Velvet”

@Aikalovesphilos I read somewhere that the Frydek was a dwarf hybrid of the other one? But only found that on one website.

The frydek is the variegated version of the micholitziana. People call the micholitziana the frydek though because well, it’s easier to say frydek.

@Peachyhoyas ok. I read that somewhere as well. It’s literally called frydek everywhere. So confusing when even stores and greenhouse are using the wrong or outdated names.
