Light: Needs vary from shade to full sunlight,
depending on the variety. Ask the grower if the plant is
sun-trained. Leaf color tends to be better among
plants that grow best with more light.
Watering: Keep plants moist all year; they are
water-loving plants. There is a fine line with these
plants. You want to keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
They require less water during the winter months
because the plant is dormant.
Humidity: Thrives in a more humid environment
Temp: Alocasias will start to suffer below 60 degrees
Fahrenheit. Some varieties will die back during colder
weather and resprout from the rhizome.
Soil: A well-drained, slightly acidic potting soil is
perfect for alocasias.
Fertilizer: They can be heavy feeders, especially
large specimens. Feed with liquid fertilizer during the
growing season or frequent, small applications of
granule fertilizer.
Toxicity: Highly toxic to pets and humans
