Please Note: We try to photograph a good representation of the style, size and overall look of the plant category. Should there be specific variants (such as our Imperfect Plants) they will be marked as such. Each plant is unique in it's own way, so we cannot guarantee the exact number of leaf or stem counts.

  • Lighting

    Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves. Can tolerate medium light, but growth may slow. If grown outdoors, place in partial shade.

  • Watering

    Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Avoid overwatering, as Alocasia is prone to root rot. Use distilled, filtered, or rainwater to prevent leaf browning.

  • Toxicity

    Toxic to pets and humans if ingested (contains calcium oxalate crystals). Keep away from cats, dogs, and children. If ingested, it can cause mouth irritation, drooling, and stomach upset. Wear gloves when handling if you have sensitive skin.

  • Fertilization

    Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer (diluted to half strength). Do not fertilize in fall and winter when the plant is dormant. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can cause salt buildup and leaf damage. Organic fertilizers like worm castings or fish emulsion are great options!
