Care Instructions:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Adequate light is crucial to support the energy-intensive variegated leaves and encourage the stunning coloration.
-
Water: Prefers consistently moist (but not soggy) soil. Water when the top inch feels dry. Good drainage is non-negotiable.
-
Soil: A very chunky, well-aerated aroid mix is essential to prevent rhizome rot.
-
Humidity: Prefers high humidity levels (60%+), which helps produce larger, healthier leaves.
-
Dormancy Note: Like many Alocasia, it may go dormant in winter with cooler temperatures and less light, but will often return from its bulb in spring.
