    Care Requirements

     

    1. Light

     

    Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while low light may slow growth and reduce vibrancy.

     

     

     

    2. Watering

     

    Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings.

     

    Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water to prevent root rot.

     

     

     

    3. Humidity

     

    Thrives in high humidity (60%+). Use a humidifier or mist the leaves regularly to maintain ideal conditions.

     

    Grouping plants together can also increase humidity.

     

     

     

    4. Temperature

     

    Prefers warm temperatures between 18-27°C (65-80°F).

     

    Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).

     

     

     

    5. Soil

     

    Use a well-draining soil mix rich in organic matter. A combination of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well.

     

     

     

    6. Fertilizer

     

    Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

     

    Reduce or stop fertilizing in the dormant period (fall and winter).

     

     

     

    7. Repotting

     

    Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a pot with good drainage.

     

     

     

    8. Pests

     

    Monitor for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and scale. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

     

     

     

    9. Propagation

     

    Propagate through division by separating offsets or corms from the mother plant.

     

     

     

     

    With its striking appearance and relatively easy care requirements, Alocasia 'Nairobi Night' is a great choice for plant lovers seeking to add a touch of tropical elegance to their collection.
