Care Plan for Alocasia Sarian Albo Variegata

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to enhance variegation. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, and low light, which may reduce variegation.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering during cooler months.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60%+). If the air is too dry, use a humidifier, mist occasionally, or place the plant near a pebble tray.

Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18–27°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 12°C and protect from cold drafts.

Soil: A well-draining, airy mix with peat or coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark ensures good moisture retention while preventing waterlogging.

Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Cut back in autumn and winter.

Support: This variety can grow tall and benefits from staking to support its upright growth.
