Growing Guide

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid harsh midday sun which may scorch leaves.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm rooms (18–22°C); keep away from cold draughts.

• Soil: Plant in well-draining, peat-rich compost with neutral to slightly acidic pH.

FAQs

• Q: When is the best time to repot my Alocasia Amazonica?
  A: Repot in spring when roots outgrow the pot—typically every 1–2 years.
• Q: How fast does it grow?
  A: With optimal warmth and humidity, expect steady growth throughout spring and summer. Leaves may slow in winter.
• Q: What should I do if the leaves droop?
