🌿 Plant Care Tips

Alocasia 'Low Rider' is a compact cultivar of Alocasia portodora, renowned for its broad, heart-shaped leaves and manageable size, typically reaching up to 60 cm in height. This makes it an excellent choice for indoor cultivation, especially in environments with limited space.

Native to

Originating from the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, Alocasia 'Low Rider' thrives in warm, humid conditions beneath the forest canopy.

Water

Maintain consistently moist soil for Alocasia 'Low Rider', ensuring it is neither waterlogged nor dry. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away to prevent root rot.

Light

This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to place it near a window with filtered light or in a well-lit room away from direct sun exposure.

Humidity

Alocasia 'Low Rider' thrives in high humidity levels, ideally between 60% and 70%. To achieve this, consider using a humidifier, placing the plant on a pebble tray with water, or grouping it with other plants to create a more humid microenvironment.

Temperature

Maintain indoor temperatures between 18°C and 24°C for optimal growth. Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 15°C, as it is sensitive to cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
