Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight to maintain its vibrant foliage and prevent the stems from becoming leggy.
No, the Alocasia Antoro Velvet is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
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.
Check the soil moisture by touch; if the top inch feels dry, it is time for a thorough watering. On average, this happens about once a week, though it may vary based on your home's humidity and temperature.
Keep the plant in a room that stays between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid placing it directly in front of air conditioning vents or heaters, which can cause temperature fluctuations.
