    Wow! That is one happy alocasia! ☺️ May I ask your lighting situation for this beauty? I’m always looking to learn more about alocasia care, some can be quite fussy for me still!

      I recently set up my plant shelf with the Grove Bar from Soltech. I keep it on for 14hrs (10am-12am). I water & fertilize about once a week with Miracle Gro water soluble fertilizer. It’s currently in a super chunky mix from Sol Soils. For my alocasia specifically I like to choose a cover pot where the nursery pot can sit in it without touching the bottom (I guess sort of like a “self watering pot”) — I like to leave a little bit of water (not touching the plant at all) to boost moisture. I’ve noticed this helps keep the plant happy between waterings as they don’t like to be fully dry.

      Thank you so much for all the great info! Sounds like I’m on the right track, except you’re fertilizing much more than I am! I’ll up my game and bit and see how that goes :) thanks again!

      It must be something in the air! When I first got into alocasia I was super nervous but this baby has not let me down🌱
