PLANT CARE ( Alocasia Antoro Velvet )
The optimum temperature for the plant is between 20 to 30 °C. | |
Indirect sunlight works best. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight as its leaves will scorch. | |
An ideal humidity level at day is about 75% while it is about 95 to 100% at night. | |
Allow the surface of the soil to dry up between watering. Water thoroughly and ensure that the soil is moist. |
ADDITIONAL CARE
Alocasia Antoro Velvet wants bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct light but avoid hot midday sun or the leaves will scorch. Use a well-draining soil mix (see aroid soil), amended with more moisture-retentive potting mix than for most Aroids and water thoroughly, allowing excess to drain. Alocasia Antoro Velvet does like more constant moisture than most Aroids but waterlogged soil will lead to root rot.
Alocasia Antoro Velvet is unusually sensitive to low temperatures in the home. In winter with low light and low temperatures near windows they can enter a dormancy, so it is best to avoid placing them in an unheated room or near a cold window. Dormancy will involve the plant dropping all its leaves and existing as an underground corm. If you push your finger down into the soil and feel the underground corm it should feel firm and not squishy. If the plant enters dormancy happens you can force the plant out of dormancy. This is a similar process to propagating Alocasia Antoro Velvet from a bulbil.

An example picture gives a trustworthy image of the plant with good care. The plant in the example picture is not the plant that will be delivered. This is an example, so variations are possible. Eventually, the delivered plant may differ in for example size, the number of flowers & branches, The Plant Will be in a Plastic Pot Not The One Shown In The Picture.
