Alocasia reginula requires bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures with high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as this can scorch the leaves.Suelo
This plant prefers a well-draining, loamy soil mix that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of peat, perlite, and potting soil works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.Fertilizante
Feed Alocasia reginula with a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 20-20-20, every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the dormant period in winter.Trasplante
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the spring or early summer.Propagación
Propagate Alocasia reginula through division. Carefully separate the rhizomes during repotting, ensuring each division has at least one healthy leaf and root system. Plant the divisions in fresh soil and keep them in a warm, humid environment.Poda
