ABOUT THE PLANT
Alocasia azlanii, also known as Azlan's Alocasia, is a rare and relatively new species of Alocasia. Here is some information about Alocasia azlanii:
-
Appearance: Alocasia azlanii is a small to medium-sized Alocasia species with unique foliage. The leaves are heart-shaped with prominent veins and have a rich green color. The undersides of the leaves are often reddish-purple, adding to its visual appeal.
-
Growth habit: Alocasia azlanii has an upright growth habit and typically grows to a height of around 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 centimeters). It forms a clump of stems with multiple leaves emerging from the base.
-
Light requirements: Alocasia azlanii prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some shade, but it generally thrives in medium to bright light conditions. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
-
Temperature and humidity: This plant prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C) and appreciates higher humidity levels. Providing adequate humidity through misting, placing the plant near a humidifier, or using a pebble tray can help create a favorable environment.
-
Watering: Water Alocasia azlanii thoroughly when the top inch (2.5 centimeters) of soil feels dry. It prefers consistently moist soil but should not be overwatered. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
