Know before you buy
Yes, the Alocasia Sarian Variegated you see in the listing is the specific specimen you will receive.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain the health and vibrancy of its variegated leaves.
We recommend waiting at least one week before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to your home's specific environment and reduces transplant shock.
Water your plant only when the soil feels dry to the touch, which is typically once a week. Be careful not to overwater, as Alocasias prefer their soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

This Alocasia prefers temperatures between 65–85°F. It is best to keep it away from cold drafts or direct heat sources like vents.
