Buying and caring for Alocasia Macrorrhiza

13.95

It's easy to guess how this plant with its large red leaves got its name. The shape of the leaves resembles a swimming ray. A swimming ray, but you could also see an elephant's head in it, with flapping ears and the tail of the leaf as a trunk. The Alocasia is therefore also called Elephant Ear, and in addition to the Alocasia Macrorrhiza, you have several other species: the Alocasia Zebrina, the Wentii, Stingray, the Red Secret, etc.

The Alocasia loves water and likes to be in a light spot. However, do not place it in direct sunlight and do not let the root ball dry out. Are there drops of water on the leaf tips? Then you are giving too much water. The leaf grows towards the light and it is good to turn it occasionally. When the plant forms new leaves, an older leaf may droop. Then feel free to cut the old leaf away. In the spring and summer it is good to give him some plant food twice a month for optimal growth.
