    Alocasia really thrives with consistency. It’s a genus that prefers to not dry out completely between waterings but does like an airy mix. They are also pretty heavy feeders. I add Osmocote to the soil AND also fertilize with Dyna Gro Foliage Pro with every watering. They like bright indirect light but not too intense or the leaves may bleach. They also prefer a humid environment. 50% + is ideal 🤗 They also prefer to stay quite snug in their pot, so don’t repot too often and when you do repot, don’t go bigger than 2 sizes tops.

      I have carnivorous plants and already have distilled on hand, so that’s great 😂
