Description
It is important to note that the Alocasia may go into dormancy during the winter months. During this time, the plant may lose some leaves or slow its growth. This is a natural process for many tropical plants, and it is important to continue caring for the plant even while it is dormant.
Alocasia requires bright, indirect light and well-draining soil that is kept consistently moist during summer. During winter wait until the soil dries out between watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot and kill the plant as a result. Additionally, the plant benefits from regular fertilization during the growing season.
As the Alocasia is a larger plant with bigger leaves, it is possible that there may be some cosmetic damage to the leaves. This is a common occurrence during the transport and handling of the plant. However, this does not affect the health of the plant.
