Plant Characteristics:
Alocasias are compact houseplants typically reaching 12-18 inches tall, making them perfect for desks, shelves, or plant collections. Their unique leaf patterns and colors create living artwork that changes as new leaves unfurl. These plants are known for their ability to go dormant during winter months, often losing leaves before producing fresh growth in spring.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Bright, indirect light (avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves)
- Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; reduce watering in winter
- Humidity: Prefers higher humidity (40-60%); use a humidifier or pebble tray
- Temperature: Warm conditions, 65-80°F; protect from cold drafts
- Soil: Well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture
- Fertilizer: Monthly feeding during growing season (spring/summer)
Perfect for plant collectors and anyone looking to add exotic beauty to their indoor garden. Note: Alocasias are toxic to pets and children if ingested.
