Alocasia macrorrhizos Variegata can grow into a large statement plant indoors. Mature plants may reach around 1 to 2 metres in height when given space, warmth and good light.
Light
Provide bright, filtered light. Variegated leaves need more light to maintain their colour, but avoid strong direct sun as it can burn the white sections.
Watering
Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry before watering again. Consistent moisture helps support large, healthy leaves.
Soil
Use a well draining aroid mix. A blend with indoor potting mix, perlite, orchid bark and coco coir keeps the root system healthy and aerated.
Humidity and Temperature
This plant loves warm, humid conditions. Aim for humidity above 60 percent. Keep it away from cold draughts, heaters and air conditioning. Ideal temperatures are 18 to 28 degrees.
Feeding
Feed every 4 to 6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength. Reduce feeding during the cooler months.
