Maintenance guide
Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:
Alocasia California thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage its foliage. Indoors, place it near an east- or west-facing window, protected from harsh rays.
Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot summer days. Avoid standing water and ensure efficient drainage to protect the roots. A humid atmosphere will promote broad and vigorous foliage.
Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer (20-20-20) every two weeks from spring to fall. This will encourage compact, lush growth.
Remove yellow or damaged leaves to stimulate new growth and maintain a beautiful shape. Bring the plant indoors as soon as temperatures drop below 15 °C (59 °F).
