Variant

Alocasia Mickey Mouse, aka Xanthosoma Albo Variegata or Alocasia Xanthosoma Variegata, gets its name from the quirky shape of its leaves, which have a resemblance to the ears of Mickey Mouse. No two leaves will look alike on this beauty as they will each have their own creamy-white variegated pattern. Despite looking similar to Alocasia, this plant actually belongs to the Xanthosoma genus!

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Alocasia Mickey Mouse

Sun: Indirect

They should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Bright

They will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

They need to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: High

They like a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

This plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Alocasia Mickey Mouse, also known as Xanthosoma Albo Variegata, a delightful and vibrant houseplant that communicates the spirit of playfulness, wonder, and constant evolution.

The Alocasia Mickey Mouse is an eye-catcher, with its large, heart-shaped leaves featuring splashes of white variegation. These leaves, reminiscent of the silhouette of everyone's favourite animated mouse, are a playful reminder to not take life too seriously and to cherish the wonder of childhood imagination.

When placed in a well-lit location, the Alocasia Mickey Mouse thrives, radiating joy and positivity. Its vibrantly variegated leaves remind us to seek and cherish the bright spots in life, even amidst the shadows, mimicking its own growth pattern in bright, indirect light.

Like many of its Alocasia cousins, the Mickey Mouse prefers the top inch of its soil to be dry before watering. This preference mirrors life's balance, encouraging us to understand that everything – including nurturing, care, and even water – is best in moderation.

The Alocasia Mickey Mouse is a constant grower, producing more of its uniquely patterned leaves as it matures. This growth signifies the beauty of evolution, of becoming more of ourselves as we accumulate life experiences.

Welcome the Alocasia Mickey Mouse into your home. It’s not just a plant; it's a charming reminder of playfulness, personal growth, and the magic of keeping our inner child alive. Let it uplift your spirit with its whimsy and wonder, day in and day out.
