Care at a glance

Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant may go dormant.
Light: Provide bright, indirect light; direct sun can scorch the leaves. An east-facing window is ideal.
Humidity: Requires high humidity, aim for 60% or above.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
Soil: Use a well-draining, aerated potting mix rich in organic matter.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Toxicity: All parts of Alocasia plants are toxic if ingested by pets or humans, causing oral irritation.
Propagation: Propagate by dividing rhizomes or offsets during repotting in the spring. Ensure each division has at least one growth point.
