Light
Bright indirect light. Leaves are sensitive and can burn easily from direct light or hot temperatures. Alocasias will move their leaves towards the light in undesirable low light levels.
Water
Prefers evenly damp-moist soil. Alocasias will begin to droop when they require more water.
Repotting
This can be done every 12-18 months. Choose a pot that is 2” larger in diameter than the original pot.
Soil
Use a well-draining, high organic matter soil mix.
Temperature
Average from 65°F - 75°F
Feeding
Follow a monthly fertilizing schedule when the plant is actively growing. In most cases, this is in the spring and summer. Use a balanced fertilizer - this means a ratio of NPK that is all the same. Ex: 10-10-10.
Grooming
Gently wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dust. Remove yellowing leaves right away.
Care
Rotate your plant every time you water to encourage even growth. Propagate through divison or separating corms.
