Alocasia Platinum Care Guide

• Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. Shield the leaves from strong direct sun, which can bleach or scorch the foliage.
• Water: Water when the top inch of the potting mix dries out. Keep the mix slightly moist but never soggy, and always drain excess water from the saucer.
• Soil: Use a rich, airy mix with perlite and coir in a pot with good drainage holes.
• Temperature & humidity: Prefers temperatures around 65–80°F with humidity at 60% or higher. A humidifier or pebble tray can help in drier indoor environments.
• Feeding: Fertilize lightly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce or stop feeding in fall and winter.

⚠️ Toxicity warning: Alocasia is toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
