🌞 Light Requirements
- Prefers bright, indirect light.

- Can tolerate medium light but may grow more slowly.
💧 Watering
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
- Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Use filtered or distilled water if possible, as Alocasias can be sensitive to tap water chemicals.

- Requires high humidity (60–80%).
- Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or mist regularly.
- Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
🌱 Soil & Potting
- Use a well-draining, airy soil mix (a mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well).
- Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.

🌿 Fertilizing
- Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.
