☀ ☀ Light :
Enjoys bright indirect light while indoors, part shade is advised for outdoor planting.
Water :
Alocasias are water loving plants, so their soil must be kept moist all year long. Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. It may be beneficial to keep this plant near a humidifier to replicate the conditions of a tropical climate.
+ Plant Tip :
Fertilize your Alocasia plant with a diluted balanced fertilizer during spring every two weeks. Too much fertilizer causes minerals to build up in the soil and burns the leaves of an Alocasia Plant.
