How to Care for Your Alocasia

Alocasias want bright, indirect light. East or west-facing windows are ideal. They don't do well in low light (check our low light collection instead). Direct sun burns their leaves. Bright, filtered. That's the sweet spot.

How to Fix Common Alocasia Problems

That's dormancy. Totally normal for Canadian homes from November through February. Low light and low humidity trigger it. Reduce watering, keep humidity up, wait for spring. New growth returns.

Low humidity. Canadian winter air is brutal for Alocasia. Run a humidifier, mist daily, or use a pebble tray. Keep away from heating vents.

Usually overwatering, especially in winter when the plant is dormant. Let soil dry more between waterings. Check roots for rot.

Alocasia attracts them in dry conditions. Look for fine webbing under leaves. Wipe with a damp cloth and increase humidity. Severe cases need insecticidal soap.
