Propagate Alocasia wentii through division. The best time to propagate is during the growing season. Carefully remove the plant from its pot and separate the rhizomes, ensuring each division has at least one healthy leaf and root system. Plant the divisions in separate pots with fresh soil mix and water well.剪定
