Alocasia 'Ember-nocturne' care

Alocasia 'Ember-nocturne' rewards a patient owner: it grows as a slow climber and asks mostly to be left alone.

It does best in bright light with no direct midday sun, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. It prefers to be watered sparingly, letting the pot dry almost through, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

It is happiest at average room humidity, potted in a chunky aroid mix. It is mildly irritating to pets if chewed, so shelve it accordingly.
