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.
