Light
Provide bright, indirect light. While Alocasia can tolerate lower light conditions, it tends to thrive in bright, filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure, as it can scorch the leaves.

Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Alocasias generally appreciate higher humidity, so misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby can be beneficial.

Humidity
Requires an environment with above average humidity. Mist frequently for best results. If it needs a boost, pop it near the shower or in the kitchen for a while.

Feed
Liquid fertiliser can be applied during the growing season, once a month or so should be sufficient.
Height & Growth Rate
The Alocasia typically grows 30–90 cm tall and spreads about 30–60 cm wide when mature. It has a slow to moderate growth rate, producing new leaves gradually throughout the growing season. With warm temperatures, good humidity, and proper care, the plant will steadily develop its beautiful foliage.

Toxicity
Considered toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs or opt for pet-friendly alternatives if you have furry companions.

Air Purifying
Alocasia helps filter common indoor pollutants, contributing to a healthier living environment
