Alocasia Morocco

Alocasia Morocco has bright pink stems with stunning dark green leaves with bold white veining 

Size: can reach up to 12 feet tall in the wild, but we hit 3-4 ft in the house 

Water: Alocasia prefer moist soil, allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry in between watering, if the leaves start to droop, it’s time to water, ensure plant has good drainage 

Fertilizer: Alocasia are heavy feeders and prefer a regular bi-weekly fertilizer schedule, an all purpose or tropical fertilizer is preferred 

Light: Bright indirect 

Vulnerabilities: Alocasia are susceptible to spider mite and rot root, ensure good drainage and not overwatering will aid in both of these issues

Tips: Ensure there is higher humidity, Alocasia may go dormant in the winter time, if this happened and all the leaves fall off, check the root ball to ensure there is no rotting, if there isn’t, cut watering in half, and stop fertilizing, return to normal watering and fertilizing in April.
