Plant Care

Light Requirements: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can scorch the pale foliage.

Water Requirements: Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top 1–2 inches to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogged soil.

Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted balanced houseplant fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

Soil: Use a chunky, fast-draining aroid mix with potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below about 60°F.

Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Higher humidity can help maintain healthy leaves and reduce crispy edges.

Growth Habit: A compact jewel Alocasia with thick, highly textured silver-gray leaves and contrasting dark green veins.
