Alocasias

Alocasia is a big family, including rare plants such as black velvet, silver dragon etc. But! Some of them are very common and easy to take care of, such as Alocasia Polly or Zebrina.

To make the plant happy water once a week and try to keep the soil moist, medium light and high humidity if possible.

Remember in winter they go dormant and it may loose all the leaves, it’s not dead!! Just water once a month or less and wait till spring!
