Sun: Indirect

For optimal Alocasia Lutea care, position your plant near a window that provides abundant natural light without harsh rays. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the vibrant leaves and detract from its ornamental appeal.

Light: Medium - Bright

They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. It is best to place Alocasia Lutea somewhere where it will receive a bit of gentle morning sun or a couple of hours of soft afternoon sun, then allow it to enjoy bright, filtered light for the rest of the day.

Water: When mostly dry

Allow the top portion of the soil to dry slightly before watering thoroughly. Overwatering is a common mistake with Alocasia Lutea and can lead to root rot. Ensure proper drainage and use a well-aerated potting mix to keep roots healthy.

Humidity: Any

While Alocasia Lutea tolerates average indoor humidity, it truly thrives in slightly higher moisture levels. Misting its leaves or placing a humidifier nearby can promote lush growth and maintain the plant’s bright, eye-catching foliage.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Alocasia Lutea contains calcium oxalates, which can irritate pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious animals and contact a veterinarian immediately if you suspect your pet has consumed any part of the plant.

Pro Tip

Regularly wipe the leaves to remove dust and maximize light absorption, aiding in robust growth. Expect possible dormancy in cooler months—reduce watering during this period, and your Alocasia Lutea will bounce back beautifully when temperatures rise again.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
