Care Plan for Alocasia Pink Dragon Variegata

Light:

• Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation and healthy growth.
• Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves and fade the variegation.

Watering:

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Humidity:

• Thrives in high humidity levels (60–80%). Increase humidity using a humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting.

Temperature:

• Maintain temperatures between 18–27°C. Avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C.

Soil:

• Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably one designed for aroids, with added perlite or orchid bark for aeration.

Fertilising:

• Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilising in autumn and winter.

Repotting:

• Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
