**Light** Bright, indirect light will make alocasias happy- either from overhead or within 2m of a window. Just make sure it's not too direct as this can scorch the leaves! **Water** Allow the top third of the soil to dry out in between waters; keep in mind it will need slightly less watering in the cooler months. **Humidity** Average household humidity is fine; when your heating is on, try increasing the humidity with a humidity tray. Will benefit from an occasional hose down to keep it free of dust and hydrate the leaves! **Soil** Use a moisture-retentive soil to keep this thirsty plant happy but not too soggy. Repot every two years if absolutely necessary; these plants would rather be potbound than risk being shocked by moving. **Food** Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter. Pre-water the soil before applying 'ready to use' products to protect the roots. **Temperature** Ideally likes temperatures of 20-30°C; make sure it doesn't drop
