How to Grow

Grow Alocasia Lutea in bright, indirect light. It thrives in warm temps above 60°F. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mist frequently to boost humidity. Fertilize monthly during spring and summer.

Care Tips

Uses

Alocasia Lutea makes a big statement massed in tropical garden beds or planters. It also shines as a houseplant, accenting living spaces with its vibrant chartreuse foliage.

Planting Tips
