Planting and Care
This plant prefers bright, indirect light and well-drained, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter. Water moderately, ensuring the soil is kept moist but not waterlogged, as it is prone to root rot. Use a humidity tray or mist the leaves regularly to maintain the high humidity levels it thrives on. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, as Alocasia ‘Maharani’ is sensitive to cool conditions. Prune any yellowing or dead leaves to encourage healthy new growth.
