Light - Bright, indirect light is ideal. A south facing room but shielded from the sun would be the best placement for Alocasia Wentii.
Water - Alocasia prefer their soil to almost dry out between watering. Soil should be mostly dry, but still slightly damp around the drainage holes. Overwatering can quickly damage the roots.
Temperature - Happy at room temperature but avoid cold draughts over a long time period. She loves humid environments and would thrive in a kitchen or bathroom.
Repotting - Repot once the roots are visible from the drainage holes, in a rich, well-draining soil.
Toxicity - Not pet friendly.
