How to Care for Alocasia ‘Loco’ – Rare Plant Guide

Light
Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the dark leaves of this exotic plant.

Watering
Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Let the top layer dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Humidity
This tropical beauty loves high humidity (60–80%). Mist regularly or use a humidifier for best growth.

Soil
Use a well-draining aroid mix rich in organic material – think peat, perlite, and orchid bark for airflow and moisture control.
