Alocasia 'Marmorata-vireo' care

Alocasia 'Marmorata-vireo' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a vining spreader within its first year.

It does best in morning sun with afternoon shade, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. Water when the leaves just begin to soften; the fastest way to lose one is a saucer left full.

It is happiest at a pebble tray in heated rooms, potted in a free-draining cactus-leaning mix. It responds visibly to a monthly feed through the growing season.
