General Info
Alocasia are mostly Native to Southeast Asia, where they grow on the forest floor in sub tropical areas
The genus contains 79 plants, most of which can be house plants
Popularity of keeping Alocasia comes from the wide range of colours and patterns that their leaves can have
We most often carry the Alocasia Polly, commonly called the African Mask Plant
Watering
Alocasia are very susceptible to over watering and should be allowed to mostly dry out between waterings - planting in a Peat Moss based soil is good for them
Roughly once a week is how often you should water, while misting regularly in between
Keeping the soil moist without allowing it to be fully saturated will help to keep your plant happy
Light Requirements
Your Alocasia will want to be placed in a spot with mainly indirect light
As they grow on the forest floor they prefer bright indirect light, tolerating minimal direct sun
Providing too much direct sun will allow for the foliage to become damaged and burnt
