How Do You Water Alocasia

Water your Alocasia when the top 25% of the soil is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer. Alocasia is susceptible to root rot, so avoid overwatering. Your Alocasia prefers a spot with ample humidity.

Alocasia Polly enjoy weekly watering sessions and frequent misting, keeping their soil moist but not wet. In winter, we recommend allowing the top 2′ of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot.
