Care Instructions 

• Light Conditions☀️
  Place your Alocasia in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent scorching to the leaves.
  Turn your plant regularly to ensure even light exposure and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  Too little light can result in leggy stems and less vibrant foliage colour.
  
• Watering💧
  Allow the top 2-3cm to dry out before watering. Water regularly, aiming to keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged.
  Reduce watering in the winter months. Your Alocasia may go dormant or grow more slowly, so reduce the watering accordingly.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  These plants prefer high humidity.
  To increase your humidity levels you can use a humidifier or you could consider regularly misting your plant if the indoor air is dry.
  You can also place your plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase the humidity levels.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  This plants prefer temperatures between 18-29°C.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱

• Additional Care➕
  Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.
  Repot every 2-3 years, or when root bound, in well-draining soil to accommodate growth and refresh nutrients.
  Prune away any dead or yellowed leaves at their base to encourage new growth and maintain the plants health.
  Alocasias may enter a natural dormant phase in winter where leaves die back as temperatures drop. New growth will appear in the spring
