🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf scorch. Ideal for east or north-facing windows, or a bright spot with filtered light.
💧 Water & Humidity
Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Loves high humidity (over 60%) – use a humidifier or place near other plants to boost ambient moisture.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. Repot every 1–2 years to support rapid rhizome growth.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and small children.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Grows from rhizomes that can be divided during repotting in spring. Each division should have at least one growth point for successful propagation.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
May go semi-dormant in winter with slowed growth. Reduce watering accordingly and keep above 15°C to maintain foliage health.
🐛 Common Issues
Watch for spider mites and thrips, especially in dry conditions. Regularly wipe leaves to prevent dust build-up and pest hiding spots.
🧬 Botanical Background

Super schöne Pflanze .
Arrived in excellent condition and she is just a stunning princess❤️thank you so much❤️
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.
