Alocasia 'Jacklyn' 4"

Care Instructions for Alocasia Plants:

Light:
Alocasia plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their leaves. Place your Alocasia near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight or artificial light.

Water:
Keep the soil of your Alocasia plant consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure proper drainage in the pot to prevent water from pooling at the bottom, which can lead to root rot.

Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix for your Alocasia plant. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well to provide adequate drainage and aeration for the roots. Repot your Alocasia plant every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide additional space for growth.

Humidity:
Alocasia plants prefer high humidity levels to thrive. Maintain a humidity level of at least 60% for optimal growth. You can increase humidity around your plant by using a humidifier, placing a tray of water near the plant, or misting the leaves regularly. Avoid placing your Alocasia plant near drafts or heaters, as they can reduce humidity levels and harm the plant.

By following these care instructions for light, water, soil, and humidity, you can help your Alocasia plant thrive and grow beautifully in your home. Remember to monitor your plant regularly and adjust care routines as needed to ensure its health and well-being.
