🌿 Alocasia macrorrhiza Care Guide
Grow Big, Bold, and Beautiful!

1. 🌞 Light:

   • Thrives in bright, indirect light.
   • Can tolerate partial shade outdoors but avoid harsh, direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.

2. 💧 Water:

   • Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
   • Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering during winter.

3. 🌡️ Temperature:

   • Prefers warm conditions between 65–85°F (18–29°C).
   • Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

4. 🌫️ Humidity:

   • Loves high humidity.
   • Use a humidifier or mist the leaves regularly if grown indoors.

5. 🌱 Soil:

   • Plant in rich, well-draining soil with good aeration. Add peat or perlite for best results.

6. 🍃 Fertilizer:

   • Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
   • Pause feeding during fall and winter.

7. ✂️ Pruning:

   • Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage healthy new growth.

8. ⚠️ Pests & Toxicity:

   • Watch for pests like spider mites and aphids. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

1. Get the scissors
Cut the stems of your flowers at a 45° angle using clean and sharp scissors.

2. Fill the container with water
It is important for your flowers to always be hydrated. For best results, change the water in your flowers daily. The water should always look transparent and clean whenever you put your flowers in. Tip: Remove any leaves or foliage that are below the water level.

3. Find the ideal spot
Unlike planted flowers, cut flowers cannot withstand direct sunlight. Keep them in a cool place and away from direct heat of the sun.
