Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant foliage. Place it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot that receives plenty of ambient light without direct sun hitting the leaves, which can cause scorching.
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation or discomfort if ingested by curious pets, so it is best kept on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to animals.
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.
Check the soil moisture by touch rather than following a strict calendar. Water thoroughly only when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch, which is typically about once a week depending on your home's humidity and temperature.
The Alocasia Purpley prefers a stable environment between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid placing it near drafty windows, air conditioning vents, or heaters, as sudden temperature fluctuations can stress the plant.
