Care Plan for Alocasia 'Quilted Dream' Variegated
1. Light:
Provide bright, indirect light to maintain its stunning variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
2. Temperature:
Thrives in warm conditions between 18°C and 30°C. Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
3. Humidity:
High humidity is essential for this tropical plant. Aim for 60% or higher, and consider a humidifier or regular misting if your space is dry.
4. Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings to avoid root rot.
5. Soil:
Use a well-draining, airy potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix designed for aroids or one combining peat, perlite, and orchid bark works well.
6. Fertiliser:
Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.
