Maintenance guide

Alocasia 'Sumo'

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

Light

Alocasia Sumo prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage its large leaves. Place it in a bright location protected from harsh rays.

Watering

Keep the soil slightly moist, especially during the growing season. Avoid standing water to protect its roots and encourage healthy, vigorous foliage.

Nutrition

Apply a balanced fertilizer (such as 20-20-20) every 2 to 3 weeks to support growth and enhance the color of its petioles.

Trim and care

Remove damaged or yellow leaves to stimulate new growth. This compact variety enjoys stability and prefers not to be moved often.
