Alocasia 'Perlata-umbra' care

Collectors know Alocasia 'Perlata-umbra' for its steady pace; it keeps a compact rosette even in imperfect corners.

Position it in medium filtered light and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. Water when the top third of the mix is dry. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Keep it at average room humidity; pot it in standard mix cut with a third perlite and refresh the top layer each spring. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
