☀️ Care Guide
- Light: bright, indirect light. Variegated areas contain less chlorophyll and burn more easily, so avoid direct midday sun.
- Watering: water when the top layer of substrate starts to dry, then let excess water drain. Alocasias are sensitive to soggy roots, so avoid standing water.
- Humidity: 60 to 80% is ideal, with gentle air circulation to keep leaves healthy.
- Temperature: 18°C to 28°C (65°F to 82°F). Keep away from cold drafts, cold windows in winter and sudden temperature drops.
- Substrate: an airy, fast-draining aroid mix that lets the roots breathe.
- Adjustment: after arrival, keep the plant in stable, gentle conditions and avoid repotting or major changes for the first couple of weeks.
- Feeding: a diluted, balanced fertilizer during active growth; reduce in winter when growth slows.

🌿 Important Live Plant Information
Every plant is unique, and so is the way its variegation unfolds. Each leaf has its own pattern, and once your plant is home, how its variegation develops will depend on the environment you give it: light, humidity, temperature and care. Future leaves may show more or less variegation, and variegation on new growth cannot be guaranteed. Like all live plants, it can react to transport and to a new environment. Losing an older leaf during the adjustment period is normal for Alocasia; healthy roots, a firm corm and an active growth point are the best signs of a thriving plant.
