Alocasia does best with bright indirect light, but can tolerate some early morning or late day sun. You may need to use a grow light during dark winter months. It prefers to be consistently moist, but not wet and needs to have good drainage. It can't take wet soil, but also doesn't tolerate dry soils well. A well draining soil is necessary and the plant should not be allowed to sit in water. It is happiest when grown between 60 and 85 degrees. If your plant drops it's leaves don't give up. Alocasias are grown from bulbs and can sprout new leaves under the right conditions.
