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.
Not Pet Friendly

☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Alocasia Frydek thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light can slow its growth and dull the leaf colour. A north or east-facing window is ideal to provide the perfect balance of light.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season (spring and summer), but not waterlogged. In winter, allow the topsoil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure your pot has good drainage.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm)
Alocasia Frydek prefers a warm environment typical of its native tropical habitat. Aim to maintain indoor temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. Avoid drafts, sudden temperature changes, or proximity to heaters and air conditioners.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
This plant loves humidity! Aim for 60% or higher. Regular misting, a humidity tray, or a room humidifier can help meet its needs, especially during dry winter months.
🪴 Repotting
Alocasia Frydek should be repotted every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining soil mix to prevent water from pooling at the roots. Spring is the best time to repot as the plant is entering its active growth phase.

We’re a small family business with a big love for plants.
From our base in Aberdeen, we pack every order with care and love. Our small size means we can be flexible with special requests, and we’re always happy to help. We reuse packaging, craft our own eco-friendly products, and offer friendly advice whenever you need it.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
Really excellent service. I ordered Dicranum that was delivered in great and 24 hours. Will be using again!
No issues.
