How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water every 4-7 days when top 1" of soil is dry. Alocasia are water loving plants but never the plant sit in soggy soil.
Pruning
Once the foliage has completely wilted, cut down the last stems and store the pot in a cool place (between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius) and away from the light.
Fertilizer
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth. By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
