Alocasia clypeolata Culture

Successful cultivation of the striking Alocasia clypeolata. Here are some key cultural practices to ensure its vigorous growth:

Light: Alocasia clypeolata appreciates bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct morning or late afternoon sun, avoid intense midday sun which can scorch its leaves.

Temperature: To mimic its tropical origins, provide warm temperatures between 21-27°C (70-80°F) during the day and slightly cooler nights around 18-21°C (65-70°F).

Humidity: High humidity levels are crucial for Alocasia clypeolata. Aim for 70-80% humidity. Consider using humidifiers, pebble trays, or grouping plants together to increase ambient humidity.

Watering: Maintain consistently moist but not waterlogged conditions. Allow the top inch of the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage to prevent root rot.
