alocasia
Most popular indoor, herbaceous aroid shrub,
grows up to 1.2m height but often shorter, with
different veins & variegations over the leaves &
plant arises from underground rhizome.
Foliage
Large, smooth and thick, arrowhead-shaped, variably
medium to dark green with prominent silvery to lime-white
veins and undulating margins.
Alocasia Varieties
These alocasia varieties are wide & they are tender
perennial plants. Striking alocasia varieties are Nebula,
Cuprea, Wentii, Dragon Scale, Silver Dragon,
Stingray, Frydek, Amazonica & Others.
• Alocasias are adaptable and can handle a range of light from low
to bright indirect light.
• If you bring your alocasia outdoors in the warmer months, place it
in a spot that receives partial shade.
• Direct sunlight will burn the leaves.
Sunlight
Water alocasia plants when the top couple
of inches of the soil are dry. Alocasias have
medium water requirements.
watering
All alocasia love loose, nutrient-rich
potting soil. Use a soil medium that can
retain moisture but also allows for draining
excess water to avoid root rot.
soil
Make sure that there is plenty of organic matter,
like coco-coir, peat moss, or shredded leaves,
and avoid soils that contain moisture retaining
crystals.
Cut the stems that are close to the base of the
stem & dried foliage of plants. This operation
is carried out 3 to 4 months once.
pruning
Plant Placement
• For good growth place the plants at
indoor environments.
• Transfer the plants to new large size pot
yearly once.
• Routine fertilizing, especially when the houseplant is
actively growing, can help these plants push out new
growth.
• Varieties known for exceptionally large leaves can
benefit from feedings.
Fertilizer
A diluted any organic liquid fertilizer, a
fish/seaweed emulsion, or a slow-release
fertilizer are all excellent choices for
Alocasia.
Benefits
• Alocasia plant is best suitable for indoor
environments for their ornamental leaves.
• Indoor plants of alocasia varieties are most
popular now a day. The foliage gives a
luxurious look to the interior area.
• Like Alocasia Wentii varieties most of the
alocasia varieties are mild air-purifier plants.
