5 Tips to Care for Alocasia gageana 'Variegata':

Bright, Indirect Light

Keep It Warm and Humid
This plant thrives in temperatures above 18°C (65°F) and loves high humidity. Use a humidifier or pebble tray if needed.

Water Consistently, but Don’t Overdo It
Let the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Use Well-Draining Soil
A mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark ensures good drainage and aeration.

Watch for Pests
Spider mites and aphids love Alocasias. Inspect leaves regularly and treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
