Care
Alocasias love consistent moisture but don’t like soggy soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and use rainwater or filtered water to keep your plant at its best. Avoid overwatering by ensuring the pot has good drainage.
These beauties thrive in bright but indirect light. Keep them away from direct sunlight, which can scorch their delicate leaves, and instead place them in a spot with soft, filtered light.
Don’t forget to keep it out of draughts and away from radiators. It will thrive in medium light and high humidity so is perfect for a bathroom or kitchen.
