Alocasia Frydek

3

Alocasia prefers bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or provide it with bright artificial lighting. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Adequate light will promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

Alocasia enjoys moderate watering. Keep the soil consistently moist but not overly saturated. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry, allowing the excess water to drain out completely. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Adjust the watering frequency based on the temperature, humidity, and season.

Alocasia thrives in well-draining soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. Use a rich and well-aerated potting mix that consists of a combination of peat moss, perlite, and a small amount of organic compost. This type of soil will provide good drainage while retaining the necessary moisture for the plant's roots.
