Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates medium light better than most Alocasias. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate leaves.

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity (40-60%) but adapts well to average household conditions. Mist occasionally for best results.
• Feeding: Fertilize every 3-4 weeks during spring and summer with diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
• Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
• Soil: Use well-draining potting mix. A standard houseplant mix works well.
