Shipping is very stressful for plants and some leaf loss or yellowing is to be expected. However, with proper care, they will bounce back in no time.

We treat all of our plants for pests routinely as a preventative and right before we ship them. However, plants are living things and are naturally prone to harboring insects. We recommend isolating your plant for at least two weeks once it arrives to ensure any pests that may have hitched a ride do not spread to the rest of your collection.

• Carefully remove all the packaging from your
  plant.
• If you received cuttings, place them in a cup of fresh water for up to 24 hours to rehydrate. Make sure the nodes are submerged.
• If your plant is potted, feel the soil and water if needed; avoid repotting for at least two weeks to avoid transplant shock.
• Contact us with a picture of the plant within 72 hours of delivery if there are any issues.

LIGHT: Medium to bright, indirect light; Low light and cool temperatures may induce dormancy

MEDIUM: Any well-draining and airy mix; we like using a mixture of peat, bark, and perlite

WATER: Keep evenly moist but never wet; Alocasias may go dormant as well if the soil dries out

FERTILIZER: Use a balanced fertilizer once a month during Spring and Summer; do not fertilize when plant is dormant

HUMIDITY: Average home humidity of 40-60%

PROPAGATION:

• Alocasias produce plantlets or corms that can be separated from the mother plant.
• When rooting corms, we like to place the corm halfway in sphagnum moss. Cover the container to keep humidity high but uncover it once a day for an hour to prevent mold growth.
• Transfer the plantlet to your chosen medium once the corm sprouts its first leaf and continue to provide high humidity.

LIGHT: Low to bright, indirect light

MEDIUM: Any well-draining and airy mix; we like using a mixture of peat, bark, and perlite

PROPAGATION:

• This plant can be propagated from stem cuttings or through seeds via pollination.
• For stem cuttings, cut below a node and let the cutting callus for a few hours.
• If rooting in water, make sure to change the water daily to prevent microbial growth. Transfer to your chosen medium once the roots are 1-2 inches long.
• If rooting in soil or moss, keep the medium moist and provide high humidity.
