Top Tip
To keep your Alocasia healthy, place it in a humid environment or use a humidifier to replicate its tropical origins. Clean the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance its striking appearance. Rotate the pot every few weeks to ensure even growth, as the plant will lean towards the light. Proper care will reward you with lush, dramatic foliage year-round.
How to Water
Water Alocasia regularly to maintain consistently moist soil, but avoid letting it become waterlogged, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering. During the growing season, it may require more frequent watering, while in winter, reduce the frequency to match its slower growth rate. Use lukewarm, filtered water to mimic the plant’s natural environment.
How to Plant
To plant Alocasia, select a pot with adequate drainage and fill it with a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix. Position the plant so the root ball sits level with the surface of the soil, ensuring the crown is not buried. Loosen the roots gently before planting, then backfill with soil and firm it lightly. Water thoroughly to settle the soil, and place the pot in a spot with bright, indirect light, as Alocasia thrives in warm, humid conditions.
