# what do alocasia like more humidity or high light? i have mine…

_Posted by Macie on 2024-09-05_

what do alocasia like more humidity or high light? i have mine currently in my bathroom in my shower, which has the same window as my bedroom it’s just smaller and the bottom half has a filter over it so it defuses the light. i’m wondering if they would be happier in my bedroom that has my best window for light. i have a black stem, jacklyn and sliver dragon. Thanks!! first is the bathroom second is bedroom, i know i don’t have much light in a general but im trying to make it work.

Depending on where you live, they can still do great in your ambient humidity in my experience. However lighting plays a huge factor. My humidity indoors drops to as low as 45% during the day but gets back up to 65-80%+ at night. As long as it doesn't stay that low for long periods, it seems to work for me.
