Alocasia Wentii

Elephant Ear

  • Product Info

    Keep it in bright indirect light away from cold drafts and feed it at least once a month from March till October. Water regularly in the warmer months, letting no more than the top soil dry between watering, while allowing slightly more to dry in the colder months of the year. Ideally use only filtered or rainwater to prevent any brown spots or edging on the green arrowhead leaves.

  • Care guide:

    Light:
    Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; can tolerate some shade but avoid low light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so keep it in a well-lit spot for optimal growth.

    Watering:
    Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season; water when the top inch feels dry. Leaves may droop if thirsty. In the fall and winter, reduce watering and allow the soil to dry out well between waterings.

    Soil:
    Use a well-draining potting mix, such as aroid soil or a mix designed for tropical plants. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve drainage and aeration.

    Fertilizing:
    Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer during Spring and Summer to promote vigorous growth. Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant is dormant.

    Repotting:
    Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Select a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter, and refresh the soil to provide essential nutrients.
