Alocasia Macrorrhiza Care

Alocasia Macrorrhiza, also known as Giant Taro or Elephant Ears, is an impressive tropical plant with large, glossy deep green leaves. Its architectural shape and whitish venation make it a striking decorative element for bright interiors and conservatories.

💧 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. Caution: Use room temperature, standing water.

☀️ Light Prefers bright indirect light.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the large leaves.

• Growth slows in low light conditions.

🌡️ Temperature and Air

• Ideal temperature: 18–28 °C.

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

• Humidity: Requires high air humidity (above 60%). 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. Completely omit fertilization in winter.

🧻 Substrate and Repotting Requires a light, humous, and well-drained 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.
