    Alocasia are stunning tropicals plants with arrowhead-shaped leaves. Find a warm, bright area in your home for these beauties.

    Native to the tropical area in the South Pacific Islands, particularly the Philippines, Alocasia plants appreciate the extra humidity a kitchen or bathroom can offer.Your Alocasia will thrive in a spot with bright,  indirect, filtered light. Never allow this plant to stand in the direct sunlight—the leaves will burn. It can survive in medium light, but avoid a dark corner.     

    Maintain a regular watering schedule and keep the soil of your Alocasia moist, but not wet or saturated. This is not a drought-tolerant indoor plant, but it is relatively forgiving if you forget to water it from time to time. Extended periods of dryness can result in brown leaf tips or edges. 

    Use a general houseplant fertilizer with iron every four weeks during the spring and summer. No fertilizer is necessary during the winter months when plant growth naturally slows. Only apply fertilizer to damp soil–never dry, as it will burn the roots.
