Maintenance guide

Alocasia 'Calidora'

Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:

Light

Alocasia Calidora enjoys bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which may scorch its large leaves. Indoors, place it near an east- or west-facing window, slightly protected.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the warm season. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. High ambient humidity will encourage XXL foliage.

Nutrition

Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer (such as 20-20-20) every two weeks from spring to fall. This will stimulate vigorous growth and lush foliage.

Trim and care

Regularly remove damaged leaves to encourage healthy new growth. Bring the plant indoors as soon as temperatures drop below 15 °C (59 °F).
