Plant Details:
Each plant arrives as a starter plug, approximately 2 cm in diameter and 10–15 cm tall, ready to begin its journey in your home.
 
Potting Instructions:
Upon arrival, the plugs should be potted immediately into a small pot, ideally just 1 cm larger in diameter than the plug, to avoid overwatering risks. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one enriched with perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir, to provide the perfect foundation for healthy growth.
 
Care Instructions:
 
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal for maintaining the vibrant colors and patterns of the leaves. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause scorching.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.
Humidity: Aim for high humidity levels (60–80%). Consider using a humidifier for dry indoor spaces.
Temperature: Ensure a warm environment of 18–26°C, keeping them away from cold drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season for robust growth.
 
Common Concerns & Tips:
Drooping or yellowing leaves: This could indicate overwatering or poor drainage; check the soil and adjust watering.
Crispy leaf edges: Increase ambient humidity to prevent dehydration.
Pests: Inspect regularly for common pests like spider mites, and treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
 
FAQs:
 
How soon can I repot them again? Allow the plants to establish themselves for 4–6 weeks before considering a larger pot.
How fast will they grow? Growth depends on light, humidity, and care, with faster development during warmer months.
Are these plants safe for pets? Alocasias are considered to have some level of toxicity and should be kept out of reach of pets.
