So I just got these cause I thought they were beautiful.
But after doing some research, turns out they’re pretty hard to care, so I wanted to ask you guys if there’s any tip on keep these beauties, thanks in advance!
However if you’re not interested in that-you want to get a good chunky substrate and a decent fertilizer.
They like lots of bright indirect light and are very thirsty little buggers! They also like humidity on the higher side!

I’ve had plants for a bit but three months ago got my first Alocasia-Polly. Here’s what I’ve learned-they love a humidifier, love plenty of indirect light and when you are ready to repot I’d suggest an aroid mix/chunky medium-hope you have as good of luck as I have with these gorgeous plants!

Looks like alocasia Parasol/Mandalay. Mine love semihydro/pon. It will respond to more light by making more silver leaves. They grow fastest in greenhouse conditions but will do fine in ambient. (If in semihydro, i can’t speak for soil)

Mine are in semi-hydro and love it!
