Instructions d'entretien

Alocasia sanderiana requires bright, indirect light and high humidity to thrive. It prefers moderate temperatures and should be kept away from drafts. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mist the leaves to maintain humidity and avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight.

Sol

This plant prefers well-draining, loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of potting soil, peat, and perlite is ideal. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.

Engrais

Feed Alocasia sanderiana with a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 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 becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger and refresh the soil mix. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.

Propagation

Propagate Alocasia sanderiana by division during the growing season. Carefully separate the rhizomes and plant them in individual pots with fresh soil mix. Keep the new plants in a warm, humid environment until they establish.

Taille

Prune any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts close to the base of the leaf stem.

Toxicité

Alocasia sanderiana 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

To enhance humidity around the plant, consider using a humidity tray or placing a humidifier nearby. Regularly clean the leaves to remove dust and allow for better photosynthesis.
