Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain the vibrancy of its unique mint variegation.
No, this Alocasia is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep it on a high shelf or in a room that your cats or dogs cannot access.
It is recommended to wait at least one week after delivery before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to your home's environment and recover from the stress of shipping.
Check the soil moisture once a week; if the soil feels dry to the touch, it is time for a thorough watering. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent the roots from sitting in excess water.
This plant prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Keep it away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or direct heat sources to ensure it stays healthy.
