🌿 Alocasia Amazonica Care – Alans Garden

Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil slightly moist but never waterlogged.

Soil: Use a loose, well-draining mix such as cocopeat + perlite + compost or a good-quality aroid mix.

Humidity: Prefers 60–80% humidity. Higher humidity helps maintain healthy, attractive foliage.

Temperature: Keep between 18–30°C and protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once every 3–4 weeks during active growth. Reduce feeding during cooler months.

Pot & Drainage: Use a pot with drainage holes. Empty excess water from the saucer after watering.

Pests: Check regularly for spider mites, mealybugs, and thrips. Treat early with neem oil or a suitable insecticide.

Tip: Alocasia Amazonica can naturally shed an older leaf occasionally. Avoid overwatering, as wet soil can quickly lead to root rot.

Alans Garden Tip: Bright filtered light, good humidity, and excellent drainage are the keys to keeping Alocasia Amazonica lush and healthy.
