Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its health and growth. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water the plant thoroughly once the soil feels dry to the touch, which is typically on a weekly basis. Always ensure the soil has dried out slightly between waterings to prevent root issues.
We recommend waiting at least one week before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to your home's specific environment and recover from the stress of transit.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
The Alocasia Loco prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Keep it away from cold drafts or direct heat sources like vents to ensure it stays healthy.
