Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot that receives plenty of natural light without direct sun hitting the leaves, which can cause scorching.
Plan to water about once a week. The best approach is to check the soil; once the top layer of the medium feels dry to the touch, give it a thorough watering.
It is best to wait. Allow the plant to acclimate to your home's environment for at least one week before moving it to a new pot to avoid unnecessary transplant shock.
No, the Alocasia Gageana Aurea is toxic to pets. It is best to keep this plant in a room that is inaccessible to your animals.
This plant prefers a stable environment between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep it away from cold drafts or direct heat sources like vents to ensure it stays healthy.
