We received this little baby yesterday as a gift from someone who keeps a ton of houseplants. It's our first Alocasia!

We'd be so grateful for any tips and tricks on keeping her happy.

    She looks sweet! Is this a bambino?
    If so, she’s fairly easy (in my experience!) compared to other alocasias. I hold mine under a grow light since she’s in a dark corner, but near a window would be optimal ofc. I water when top is dry, fertilize once every few weeks. Prune old leaves once in a while.

    But since she looks happy, it might be the best idea to ask the gift giver how they treated it?(:

    Well they must really like you because they gave you a gem!

    It’s so girthy it’s got a trunk!

    Whoa never seen such a thick stalk on a bambino before. The leaves really do stay small still! My pink var bambino is the easiest of all my alocasias and been sprouting a leave every week. Mine loves being directly under a grow light and water when dry. I also fertilize every watering. Good luck!
