Onderhoudsinstructies
Alocasia wentii requires bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures. It thrives in high humidity and needs to be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely. This plant can be grown indoors or outdoors, but it should be protected from direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.Bodem
Alocasia wentii prefers well-draining, loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of potting soil with perlite or orchid bark can provide the necessary drainage and aeration. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.Kunstmest
Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 20-20-20. Fertilize the plant every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Reduce the frequency during the dormancy period to avoid over-fertilization.Verpotten
Repot Alocasia wentii 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. Water thoroughly after repotting.Voortplanting
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.Snoeien
Prune Alocasia wentii to remove dead or yellowing leaves and to maintain its shape. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the leaves at the base. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed.Toxiciteit
Alocasia wentii 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.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
