PLANT CARE ( Alocasia Melo )

	The optimum temperature for the plant is between 20 to 30 °C.
	The thick jade green leaves opt towards partial shade to bright indirect sunlight
	An ideal humidity level during the day is about 75% while it is about 95 to 100% at night.
	Water the plant moderately after the upper 2 inches of the soil gets dry.

ADDITIONAL CARE

Alocasia Melo 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 Melo does like more constant moisture than most Aroids but waterlogged soil will lead to root rot.

Alocasia Melo 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 Melo 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.
