Alocasia macrorrhizos is a striking tropical plant that can make a dramatic statement in any garden or indoor space.
Light: Prefers partial shade but can tolerate full sun if acclimated gradually and provided with sufficient moisture.
Indoors, it thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Soil: Alocasia macrorrhizos prefers rich, well-draining soil.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. This plant is less tolerant of drought than other Alocasias, so regular watering is important, especially during hot, dry periods.
Temperature and Humidity: Alocasia macrorrhizos does best in warm conditions, ideally between 18°C to 29°C. It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.
As a tropical plant, it benefits from high humidity. Indoor plants will appreciate regular misting, placing a humidifier nearby, or using a pebble tray with water to increase the humidity around the plant.
Plants will come in a beautifully wrapped 140mm pot. Please note this plant can vary in height quite significantly, ranging from approx. 30cm to 65cm tall.
