Alocasia amazonica Polly Care & Info Guide

Horty Hints

Feeding time! Apply a small dose of liquid fertilizer every 3-4 weeks throughout the summer to give your plant an added nutrient boost.

Time to get steamy! If your Alocasia is looking a little wilted, pop it in the bathroom to soak up those raised humidity levels.

Here comes the sun! Place your Alocasia in a well-lit spot as it needs plenty of bright, indirect light.

Light

Thrives in bright, well-lit conditions, however direct sunlight should be avoided as it will scorch the leaves. Alocasia do not benefit from shade, and will begin to suffer if light is too low.

Watering

The Alocasia’s soil should be kept moist with warm water. Do not allow the soil to dry-out but be wary not to overwater. Alocasia have a dormant period where leaves will fade and die so do not be alarmed when this happens. During this period, the plants will require less water, so simply moisten the soil from time-to-time.

Temperature

Humidity
