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.

How often do you water Alocasia?

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.

How do you care for Alocasia plants indoors?

Alocasia’s need for water diminishes drastically during dormancy and should be reduced to moistening the soil once in a while. Your Alocasia indoor planting should be well lit with bright, but diffuse light. Direct sunlight will burn the leaves. Avoid southern exposures.
