Care & tips for the Alocasia Low Rider - 40cm
The Alocasia Low Rider is a fairly demanding plant to care for. This houseplant needs just that little bit more attention than the average houseplant.
How much water does the Alocasia Low Rider - 40cm need?
The leaves of the Alocasia will droop if it gets too little water. The soil of the Alocasia Low Rider therefore needs to stay constantly moist, but make sure the roots never end up sitting in water. That can cause root rot, which is hard to recover from. Overwater it once too often and the plant can rot from the roots up. So do take real care with this.
How much light does the Alocasia Low Rider - 40cm need?
The Alocasia Low Rider comes from the jungle and therefore needs plenty of light. Make sure the plant gets at least 5 hours of direct sunlight a day.
Is the Alocasia Low Rider - 40cm toxic?
The sap in the stems and leaves of the Alocasia Low Rider is unfortunately mildly toxic. It can irritate the skin, so take care when pruning the leaves and make sure pets and children keep their distance.
