Alocasia 'Argentea-velutina' care

Alocasia 'Argentea-velutina' rewards a patient owner: it grows as a trailing habit and asks mostly to be left alone.

Position it in medium filtered light and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. It prefers to be watered when the top third of the mix is dry, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Keep it at average room humidity; pot it in a free-draining cactus-leaning mix and refresh the top layer each spring. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
