Soil
The Alocasia sarian prefers moist and well-drained soil. Rocky and sandy soils don’t prove to be a healthy grounding space for the plant. Recommended soil mixture for growing a new plant is soil and perlite in equal ratio.
Temperature
The sarian Alocasia dwells great in the temperature range between 55 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Frosting temperatures are better to be avoided.
Container
The members of the Alocasia family prefer to be root bound, so they grow pretty well even in smaller pots. They do equally well in large pots as well. It is recommended that the base of the pot needs to be drilled a few holes to enable the water drainage in the soil.
