Alocasia 'Argentea' care

Alocasia 'Argentea' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a trailing habit within its first year.

Position it in bright light with no direct midday sun and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. It prefers to be watered weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

It is happiest at average room humidity, potted in rich, moisture-retentive mix. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
