🌞 Light & Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. An east-facing window or a spot with filtered light is ideal.
💧 Water & Humidity
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. High humidity (60% or above) is essential; consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining, airy mix—combine peat, perlite, and orchid bark for optimal results. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
⚠️ Not pet-safe: Contains calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Grows from rhizomes and can reach up to 90–120 cm in height. Propagate by dividing offsets during repotting in spring or early summer.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
During winter dormancy, reduce watering and maintain warmth. Resume regular care as new growth appears in spring.
🐛 Common Issues
- Yellowing leaves: Often due to overwatering or low humidity.
- Brown leaf tips: Indicative of dry air; increase humidity levels.
- Pests: Watch for spider mites and mealybugs; treat promptly if detected.
🧬 Botanical Background

Super good packaging and the plant looked great! after just a few days after arrival a new leaf appeared, so I am super happy and can´t wait to have the little babies grow!
The Alocasia itself is beautiful and healthy, with a lovely new leaf already developing. However, the packaging method used for shipping was very disappointing. The pots were stacked together in a way that put strong pressure on the stems during transport for several days, which caused permanent bending on some petioles and damage to one leaf.
At first, my concerns were underestimated, but after additional photos and explanations, Plant Circle handled the situation professionally and offered a fair partial refund, which I appreciated.
So overall, the plant is beautiful, but the packaging method for large Alocasias clearly needs improvement.
The leaves were wrinkled from shipping.
The plant arrived with a torn leaf due to shipping.
Dropped 2 small leaves while in transit, but plant looks healthy
