Newest Alocasia Sarian, 2 Gallon Grower Pot, 3 - 4 Feet Overall Height, Rare Indoor Exotic Modern Live Elephant Ear Plant

Alocasia Sarian Care & Tips:


Alocasia sarian, also known as Elephant's Ear plant, is a tropical perennial with more than 70 varieties that is native to the tropical or subtropical regions of Asia. It can grow enormous leaves, and if in the right environment and dealt with care, can grow up to 6 feet tall.



Water:

The Alocasia is a water-addicted plant and cannot survive in droughts. However, excessive watering can also kill the plant. So how do we keep the balance? The more the plant gets exposure to bright indirect light, the more often it will need watering.

However, you would not want to mismanage the watering periods. Under-watering can lead to stunted plant growth, yellowing of leaves, and brown leaf edges, while overwatering can collapse the stem or simply kill the plant.



Light:

Ideally, Alocasia sarian is an indoor plant dependent on balanced indirect light to maintain its foliage.

It glows differently in full to partial sun but placing the plant under the direct sun can cause burning of the plant.

You can keep it anywhere where you think the natural light is available in abundance. For healthy growth, you can expose it under the morning sun too, but not when the sun is full.



Soil:

Being a rhizomatous plant, Alocasia sarian prefers well-drained soil with the right amount of light and an airy environment for optimum growth. You can make the Alocasia sarian soil mixture with soil and perlite in an equal ratio for healthy growth of the plant.

However, avoid planting Alocasia in a heavy soil mixture or a rocky and sandy soil mixture as it can steadily disrupt the plant's growth.



Temperature & Humidity:

Having its origin in Southern Asia, Alocasia sarian does not adapt well to variations in temperatures. It can not withstand extreme temperatures and therefore prefers living in a mid-range of temperature, not too warm and not too cold, somewhere between 59-89 degrees Fahrenheit.

Alocasia is a humidity-fond plant that requires at least 60 percent of indoor humidity. Any less than that and the plant compromises its perfect health. In an ideal environment, 70 percent or more humidity will let the plant maintain its freshness and brightness of the leaves. newest
