Care Tips

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. Too little light can lead to leggy growth and less vibrant coloring.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure excellent drainage. Alocasias are prone to root rot if overwatered.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity to thrive. Mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or place it near a humidifier. Low humidity can cause crispy leaf edges or browning.
• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix rich in organic matter. An Aroid-specific blend with bark, perlite, and peat moss is ideal.
• Feeding: Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the spring and summer growing seasons with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop feeding in fall and winter.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm, consistent temperatures, ideally between 18-29°C (65-85°F). Protect from cold drafts.
• Dormancy: May go dormant in cooler temperatures or with insufficient light/humidity, losing some leaves. Reduce watering during dormancy and new growth should emerge when conditions improve.
