🌱 Care Guide

☀️ Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Protect from harsh direct afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

💧 Water:
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Reduce watering during cooler months.

💦 Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity. Humidity above 50% is beneficial, particularly in dry indoor environments.

🌡️ Temperature:
Keep warm, ideally between 18–30°C. Protect from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes.

🪴 Soil:
Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix containing materials such as quality potting mix, orchid bark and perlite.

🌿 Fertiliser:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during active growth. Reduce feeding during winter.

🐾 Pet Friendly:
No. Alocasia contains calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets and children who may chew the plant.
