Instructions d'entretien

Alocasia scalprum requires bright, indirect light and should be kept in a warm, humid environment. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. It thrives in moderate temperatures and high humidity. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

Sol

This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil 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.

Engrais

Feed Alocasia scalprum with a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 20-20-20, every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the dormancy period.

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. Repotting is best done in the spring.

Propagation

Propagate Alocasia scalprum through division. Carefully separate the rhizomes during repotting, ensuring each division has roots and at least one leaf. Plant the divisions in fresh soil and keep them in a warm, humid environment.

Taille

Prune any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed.

Toxicité

Alocasia scalprum 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 it out of reach of children and pets.

Supplémentaire

To maintain high humidity, consider placing the plant on a humidity tray or using a room humidifier. Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and to help the plant breathe better.
