Alocasia Wentii - “Hardy Elephant Ears”
☀️- Make sure you place Alocasia near a window or in a very bright room, however avoid the direct sunlight. Low light conditions will quickly deteriorate your plant
💧- Alocasia’s root system has tuberous rhizomes and they store water for a while. Make sure you allow your plant to dry out between watering, cutting back over winter. Just don’t allow the soil to go crispy dry, but also never waterlogged.
🌡️- Keep warm as Alocasias are tropical plants, ideally above 18°C all year around. In colder rooms over winter they might go dormant so keep up the warmth and raise humidity around them.
🪴- Once roots are coming out of the pot, change the soil to a rich, but well draining soil mix. Some perlite and vermiculite mixed in the soil will not go amiss.

Alocasia are known for their stunning foliage and colour variations. Wentii, also named Hardy Elephant Ears, is no exception. Extensively grown in Southeast Asia, her leaves are tall and deep green with a metallic bronze purple underside, giving the plant an exotic and urban look. Easier than other Alocasias, she is nonetheless an unusual and more exciting addition.
