Planting & Care

1. Planting: The Alocasia likes bright light, but its leaves will burn in direct sun, so place it in a spot with bright, indirect light ideally near, but not directly in front of, a sunny window.

You wont need to repot your Alocasia right away only repot when it outgrows its shipped container, and select a pot thats about twice the width of the original container. When repotting, make sure your pot has good drainage holes and use organic soil mix.

2. Watering: Your Alocasia likes moist, well-draining soil water well when the soil is dry. Use your finger to check the soils moisture level, about 2 or 3 inches down. Water your plant when there are a full two inches of dryness from the top of the soil. You can also mist your Alocasia with a spray bottle twice or three times weekly, to mimic a humid, tropical environment.

3. Pruning: Remove dead or damaged foliage to encourage healthy growth.
