🌞 Light & Placement

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. Ideal near east or north-facing windows or in greenhouse cabinets with stable humidity.

💧 Water & Humidity

Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Requires high humidity (above 60%) to maintain vibrant, healthy foliage. Mist regularly or use a humidifier, especially during dry European winters.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Prefers a rich, well-draining aroid mix with peat, perlite, and orchid bark to maintain aeration and moisture balance. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh nutrients and support growth.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Toxic to pets if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs to avoid irritation or stomach upset.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Moderate-growing Alocasia producing upright sculptural foliage as it matures. Propagate via division of offsets during repotting to expand your collection.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Reduce watering slightly in winter when growth slows. Maintain temperatures above 18°C to avoid dormancy. Fertilise monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser for strong, healthy growth.

🐛 Common Issues

Prone to spider mites and thrips in low humidity. Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Inspect regularly and adjust care as needed.
