Instructions d'entretien

Alocasia macrorrhizos requires bright, indirect light and high humidity to thrive. It prefers warm temperatures and should be kept away from cold drafts. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mist the leaves frequently to maintain humidity levels.

Sol

This plant prefers well-draining, loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of potting soil with peat and perlite works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.

Engrais

Feed Alocasia macrorrhizos with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (20-20-20) every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the dormancy period in the cooler months.

Rempotage

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. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.

Propagation

Propagate Alocasia macrorrhizos through division. The best time to do this is during the spring or early summer. Carefully separate the rhizomes, ensuring each division has at least one growing point, and plant them in individual pots with fresh soil.

Taille

Prune the plant to remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. This helps to maintain its appearance and encourages new growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.

Toxicité

Alocasia macrorrhizos is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth and throat. Keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.

Supplémentaire

Alocasia macrorrhizos can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but it requires a warm, humid environment to thrive. If grown indoors, consider using a humidifier to maintain humidity levels. Regularly check for pests such as spider mites and aphids, and treat them promptly if found.
