Bright indirect to dappled light is best for this alocasia, an east facing window is a great spot. Direct light can scorch leaves. Prone to root rot if light levels are too low.

Allow the top 2″ of soil to dry out between waterings but may require more frequent watering during summer. Prone to overwatering. Winter months can tolerate fortnightly waterings.

Will enjoy frequent misting and a pebble tray partially filled with water. Bathrooms and kitchens make for a great humid home!

Yellowing: Excess salt due to tap water or fertiliser. Dull leaves: low light. Leaves dropping: cold draft. Drooping: overwatering.
