Alocasia Care
LIGHT: Your Alocasia will thrive in a spot with bright, indirect, filtered light. Never allow this plant to stand in the direct sunlight—the leaves will burn. If you don’t have an ideal location for your Alocasia, use a Grow Light.
WATER: Water your Alocasia when the top 25% of the soil is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
HUMIDITY: Your Alocasia prefers a humid environment. Mist often using a Mister.
TEMPERATURE: Your Alocasia enjoys the warmth, preferably between 65–85 degrees, so maintain indoor temperatures above 60 degrees. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
FOOD: Feed once a month during the spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer for indoor plants such as our All Purpose Fertilizer (20-20-20). Never apply fertilizer to dry soil; always make sure the soil is damp before feeding your plant.
TOXICITY: Alocasias are mildly toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will cause mouth and stomach irritation and possible vomiting.
ADDITIONAL CARE: Your Alocasia will go through a dormant period in the winter months. During dormancy, keep your Alocasia Polly in a warmer spot in your home and reduce the watering but do not allow it to completely dry out. You will see it perk up again in the spring. If your Alocasia is in need of a trim, clean up your plant using clean, sharp Plant Snips.
