Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot where it receives plenty of ambient brightness without direct sun rays, which can scorch the unique foliage.
No, the Alocasia Stingray is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.
Aim to water thoroughly once the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch, which is typically about once a week. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent the roots from sitting in excess water.
It is recommended to wait at least one week before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to the light and temperature conditions of your home, reducing transplant stress.
The Alocasia Stingray prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Keep it away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or heaters to maintain its health.
