🌿 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. Saca las tijeras

Corta los tallos de tus flores en un angulo de 45° utilizando unas tijeras limpias y afiladas.

2. Llena el embase con agua

Es importante que tus flores estén siempre hidratadas, para mejores resultados cambia el agua de tus flores diariamente. El agua debería verse transparente y limpia siempre que vayas a meter tus flores. Consejo: Quita cualquier hoja o follaje que quede por debajo del nivel del agua.

3. Encuentra el lugar ideal

A diferencia de las flores sembradas, las flores cortadas no soportan la luz solar directa, mantenlas en un lugar frio y alejadas del calor directo del sol.
