Light: Medium - Bright

Adequate lighting is crucial for the Alocasia Ivory Coast's growth. Ensure it receives consistent, indirect light throughout the day to promote healthy foliage development.

Sun: Indirect

Alocasia Ivory Coast prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or in a location with bright, indirect light.

To prevent waterlogging and maintain optimal soil moisture levels for your Alocasia Ivory Coast, consider using a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes.
