Onderhoudsinstructies
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.Bodem
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.Kunstmest
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.Verpotten
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.Voortplanting
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.Snoeien
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.Toxiciteit
Alocasia reginula 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.Aanvullend
To maintain high humidity, consider placing the plant on a humidity tray or using a room humidifier. Regularly misting the leaves can also help. Be cautious of overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
