Care of Alocasia
So you don’t need to have green fingers to get and keep houseplants at home. There are very few plants that require special care. This is how you take care of the houseplant Alocasia:
Just give plants like the Alocasia a little water now and then. The elephant ear grows best in slightly moist soil. Stick your finger into the soil every now and then and water when the soil feels dry.
The Alocasia is also a plant that does well almost anywhere in the house. Even in less bright places in the room, so a little further away from sunlight, it remains beautiful for a long time. A place in the sun is preferable.
