Care for Alocasia gageana California

Alocasia gageana California is a robust tropical plant with large, rigid, deep green leaves featuring prominent venation. Unlike other Alocasias, the California is hardier and more tolerant of less ideal conditions. Its impressive height of 90 cm makes it a striking feature in any interior.

💧 Watering Keep the substrate evenly moist – water when the top layer (approx. 2–3 cm) is dry. It does not tolerate complete drying out or waterlogging. Note: Use room temperature, standing water.

☀️ Light Prefers bright indirect light.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• It tolerates partial shade better than other Alocasias.

🌡️ Temperature and Air

• Ideal temperature: 18–28 °C.

• Cold: Does not tolerate temperatures below 15 °C and drafts.

• Humidity: Appreciates higher air humidity. We recommend a humidifier during the heating season.

🌿 Fertilizing During the growing season (spring–summer), fertilize once a month with liquid houseplant fertilizer at half strength. Omit fertilizing entirely in winter.

🧻 Substrate and Repotting Requires a light, humus-rich, and well-draining substrate. Repot in spring when the roots fill the pot.

⚠️ Warning Alocasia is toxic to pets and children if ingested. Keep out of their reach.
