Alocasia Ninja

Light
Bright, indirect light is best. It can tolerate medium light but will grow slower and may lose some of its strong coloring. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering
Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Let the top 2–3 cm (about 1 inch) of soil dry out between waterings. Consistent overwatering is the fastest way to harm an Alocasia.

Temperature & Humidity
Prefers warm temperatures between 20–28°C (68–82°F). High humidity (above 60%) will help keep it looking lush. If the air is dry, consider using a humidifier or pebble tray.

Soil
Use a well-draining, loose mix—ideally containing perlite, coco coir, and orchid bark. This helps maintain moisture without suffocating the roots.

Fertilizing
Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced fertilizer. Pause or reduce feeding in winter.

Pruning & Maintenance
Remove yellow or damaged leaves as needed. Alocasias can occasionally go dormant—especially in cooler or drier conditions—but will usually bounce back in spring with warmth and humidity.

Pests
Watch for spider mites, aphids, or mealybugs. High humidity and clean leaves help reduce risk.
