Alocasia Ivory Coast Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of peat, perlite, and orchid bark. This helps retain moisture while allowing excess water to escape.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments. Maintain humidity levels above 60% for optimal growth. Consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a humidity tray.
- Temperature: Best kept in a temperature range between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposure to cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (16°C).
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
