Alocasia 'Mickey Mouse'

Xanthosoma albo variegata 'Mickey Mouse' (Variegated Stingray)

Mickey Mouse is an exceptionally rare collector's plant prized for its whimsical, one-of-a-kind foliage. Each uniquely shaped leaf features broad, rounded lobes reminiscent of Mickey Mouse ears that taper into an elegant "stingray" tail. Dramatic splashes of creamy white, mint, and rich green variegation ensure that no two leaves are ever alike, making every plant a living work of art.

This tropical beauty adds an exotic, architectural touch to any indoor plant collection. With warmth, humidity, and bright indirect light, it produces increasingly impressive foliage throughout the growing season. Its bold form and unpredictable variegation make it a standout centerpiece for shelves, plant cabinets, and bright living spaces.

Like many Alocasias, 'Mickey Mouse' may drop a leaf or two after shipping or when introduced to a new environment. This is a normal response to change and not a cause for concern. With consistent care, the plant will acclimate and quickly begin producing fresh, healthy growth.

Plant Details

Leaf Shape: Unique lobed leaves resemble Mickey Mouse ears and often end with a delicate, string-like "stingray" tip.
Variegation: Each leaf features a unique blend of dark green, cream, white, and light green—no two leaves are exactly alike.
Size: Typically grows 3–4 feet tall indoors, and up to 6 feet tall outdoors in warm, tropical climates.

Plant Care

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. Reduce watering slightly during the winter months.
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Too little light can reduce variegation, while direct afternoon sun may scorch the leaves.
Soil/Drainage: Plant in a rich, chunky, well-draining aroid mix. A blend containing potting soil, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works well to promote healthy roots.
Temperature/Humidity: Thrives in temperatures between 65–85°F with moderate to high humidity (60%+ preferred). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Feeding: Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Pause fertilizing during winter dormancy.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when the roots become crowded. Choose a pot with drainage holes that is only slightly larger than the current container.
General Tips: It's normal for Alocasias to drop one or more leaves after shipping or when moved to a new environment. This is part of the acclimation process. With consistent warmth, humidity, and bright indirect light, new growth will emerge. Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and inspect regularly for spider mites and other common houseplant pests.
