The Ultimate Alocasia Growing Guide: Tips and Care Information

Photographs are representative of the species and not always of the specific plant shipped. Normal variations in size, pruning and leaf structure may occur.

Sun: Indirect

Alocasia Bambino thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching, but provide enough light to promote healthy growth.

Light: Medium - Bright

Ensure your Alocasia Bambino receives consistent, filtered light throughout the day. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even growth.

Water: When half dry

Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and allow excess water to drain away freely.

Humidity: High

Maintain high humidity levels to mimic the plant's native tropical environment. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting to provide adequate moisture.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Exercise caution around pets, as Alocasia Bambino is toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious animals to ensure their safety.

Pro Tip

Regularly dust the leaves of your Alocasia Bambino with a soft, damp cloth to keep them clean and free from dust buildup. This not only enhances the plant's appearance but also allows for better light absorption.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
