Alocasia California

Plant Bio

These stunning, veined leaves come in red, bronze, blue-green, and purple. If you are searching for a dramatic, very different-looking plant that can be as small as 6″ or as tall as a tree, an Alocasia plant is a great choice.

Plant in loose, well-drained potting mix or crumbly loamy soil. Try to let the top few inches of soil become nearly dry before watering. Keep Alocasia plants moist all year; they are water-loving plants. There is a fine line with these plants. They thrive in very humid environments. Alocasias can be heavy feeders, especially large specimens. Feed with liquid fertiliser during the growing season or with frequent, small applications of granule fertilizer.
