Alocasia Appaloosa Gold Plant Care
Scientific Name
Alocasia macrorrhiza
Light
The Alocasia Appaloosa Gold loves bright, indirect light. Place it near an east- or west-facing window where it gets plenty of natural light without direct sun rays, which can scorch its beautiful variegated leaves. If your space has lower light, consider supplementing with a grow light to keep the foliage vibrant.
Water
Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water about once a week, or when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Always use a pot with good drainage to prevent root rot. In winter months, reduce watering slightly as the plant enters a slower growth period.
