Sun Requirements ▾

Bright, indirect light is ideal. More light = better variegation, but keep it out of direct sun to avoid burning those pale patches.

Watering Instructions ▾

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Don’t let it dry out completely, but also don’t let it sit in water—this plant prefers moist, not marshy. Humidity: This one appreciates humidity in the 50–60%+ range. While it’s more tolerant than some other Alocasias, a boost in moisture always helps it thrive.

Care Tips ▾

Temperature: 18–27°C (65–80°F) is its happy place. Avoid cold drafts or hot, dry air that’ll mess with its chill. Soil: A light, airy mix is best—think perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir. Good drainage is essential to keep roots from sulking. Feeding: Once a month in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertilizer. It’s not super demanding, but it loves a little snack now and then.
