General Care 

light

Thrives in medium to bright indirect light, a well lit spot indoors or outside in a dappled shade spot , the  sun can tend to burn the leaves in late summer.

Water

Alocasia prefer soil that is consistently and lightly moist, but not soggy. Generally, aim to water when the top 1”- 2” of the soil is dry, but if the plant is in a lower light condition, it can comfortably dry out a little further. However, allowing the soil to dry completely will result in the leaves browning, drooping, and wilting.

Humidity

Tolerates average indoor humidity. Prefers higher humidity. 

Temperature

Average home temperature of 21c. If you’re comfortable, your plant is comfortable. Avoid cold draughts.

How often should I fertilize my plant?

• In general, house plants will thrive when they are fertilized spring through fall. Fertilize once a month with an organic houseplant fertilizer, following the package instructions for dilution and administration.
• We recommend : Plant Runner & We the Wild for a long lasting lush life.
