Thought to be more for your intermediate or experienced plant grower due to difficulties growing in less than ideal environments. Don’t let that deter you- gotta start somewhere, and if the leaves die off save the bulb to try again! Native to the tropical area in the South Pacific Islands, particularly the Philippines, Alocasia plants appreciate the extra humidity a kitchen or bathroom can offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight: Loves medium to bright indirect light. Will not tolerate low light. Be careful of direct light as this will sunburn the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWater: Allow to dry about 1\/4 to 1\/2 of pots size. Allowing alocasias to dry out a bit between watering will develop stronger roots (as the will with most plants). Some sites will recommend to keep evenly moist, however in our experience this can tend to rot the bulb.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePets:  Toxic to people and pets.
