Product description
Latin name : Alocasia wentii
A few words: Alocasia is an indoor plant that comes from the tropical jungle. Under suitable growing conditions it produces impressively oversized heart-shaped leaves. Depending on the species, the leaves of the aloe vera are green to very dark green, almost black, with ribs and outline in light gray or gray leaf with dark ribs and outline. Its flowering is not defined and occurs once every few years. Its flower is similar to that of the sword leaf and with a small lily, it is white or cream. In Alokasia wendi we find heart-shaped and glossy leaves, whose lower surface has a purple tinge, while the upper surface has a dark green tinge.
Light: It thrives best in well-lit areas in the room, but direct sun exposure can cause burns.
Water: The substrate must remain slightly moist and not allow it to dry completely. It is favored by regular waterings with less water than by sparser waterings with large amounts of water
Temperature : Ideal temperature is 18-22 ° C, but can handle lower (up to 10 ° C) or higher (up to 30-32 ° C) temperatures.
Fertilization : Depending on the prevailing conditions, even once every 20 days with a liquid fertilizer for green plants.
Last tip-tip: In case the edges of the leaves turn black, increase the watering according to the season.
