Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its striking foliage. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in low-light corners where growth will stall.
You should water the plant thoroughly once the soil feels dry to the touch, which is typically about once a week. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent water from pooling at the roots.
We recommend waiting at least one week after delivery before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to your home's specific environment and reduces transplant shock.
No, the Alocasia Chantrieri is toxic to pets if ingested. We suggest placing it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
This Alocasia prefers warm indoor temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Keep it away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or heaters to ensure it stays healthy.
