25 - 40cm Alocasia Red Secret Elephant Ear 12cm Pot House Plant
Alocasia Red Secret is a stunning plant with red irridescent green leaves and striking white. Here are some tips on how to care for your Alocasia Red Secret:
-
Lighting: Alocasia Red Secret prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to place it in a spot where it receives filtered light.
-
Watering: Water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Alocasia Red Secret is sensitive to overwatering, so make sure the soil is well-draining and never let it become waterlogged.
-
Humidity: Alocasia Red Secret enjoys high humidity, so it's important to provide it with a humid environment. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a humidifier, or placing a tray of water near the plant.
-
Temperature: This plant prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-26°C). Avoid placing it in a drafty area or near a heat source.
-
Fertilizer: You can fertilize your Alocasia Red Secret once a month during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
-
Soil: Alocasia Red Secret prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. You can mix in some perlite or sand to improve drainage.
-
Repotting: Repot your plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Alocasia Red Secret prefers a snug pot, so don't go too large.
-
Pruning: Prune your plant regularly to remove any yellow or damaged leaves. This will also encourage new growth and help to maintain a compact shape.
-
Propagation: Alocasia Red Secret can be propagated through division during repotting or by taking stem cuttings.
With proper care, your Alocasia Red Secret should thrive and add a touch of boldness and beauty to your home or office.
