☀️ Care guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Variegated areas burn more easily, so avoid direct midday sun.
• Watering: Water when the top layer of substrate starts to dry and let excess water drain. Alocasias dislike soggy roots.
• Humidity: 60 to 80% is ideal, with gentle air circulation.
• Temperature: 18°C to 28°C. Keep away from cold drafts and cold windows in winter.
• Substrate: An airy, fast-draining aroid mix.
