| Temperature | Tolerates temperatures of 55ºF (13ºC) to 86ºF (30ºC). Cooler conditions will trigger dormancy, and the plant starts to suffer above 95ºF (35ºC). | ||||
| Watering | Maintain lightly moist conditions. Water thoroughly once the top inch of soil feels dry. Make sure to let your plant drain well after watering. Very prone to root rot if overwatered, but cannot tolerate dry soil. | ||||
| Fertiliser &Soil | A specialist Aroid mix is the best option. This is the one I use. It contains coconut coir, LECA, perlite, charcoal, bark chips, and worm castings. Alternatively, equal parts of cactus mix and a standard houseplant potting mix will do OK. Alocasia wentii has quite high fertilizer requirements. Feed monthly during the growing season. I use a balanced fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. Avoid fertilizing in winter. |
