- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60%+). Mist regularly or use a humidifier for best results.
- Temperature: Prefers 65-80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.

Common Questions
Why are the leaf edges turning brown?
Usually caused by low humidity, inconsistent watering, or drafts. Increase humidity and maintain consistent moisture levels.
Does it go dormant?
Yes, like many Alocasias, it may rest during colder months. Reduce watering and feeding until new growth appears in spring.
How do I propagate it?
Through rhizome division. Ensure each division has healthy roots and at least one growth point.
Is it pet-safe?
No, Alocasias contain calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets and children.
