Shipping
Plants are shipped Monday through Wednesday so that your plant is not in transit over the weekend.
Your plant will be carefully and securely packed and shipped with a DHL tracking number. The shipping price will be calculated at checkout.
In winter, each plant receives special winter packaging with insulating and gold foil, as well as a 72h heat pack, so that it arrives safely protected even in cool temperatures. If you would like a 110h heat pack instead of the 72h heat pack, you can select this for an additional €1.
Safety Instructions
The plants offered on this website are ornamental plants andnot intended for consumption. They have not been tested for consumption by humans or animals and may contain natural ingredients that can cause health problems, including symptoms of poisoning, if ingested. This applies particularly to children and pets who might put plant parts in their mouths. Basic precautions should be observed when handling plants, as even harmless houseplants can cause undesirable reactions if ingested or if there is skin contact.
Water the Alocasia regularly, but make sure the top layer of soil dries out slightly before watering again. Alocasias do not like constantly wet soil and are very sensitive to waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
If you are unsure, I recommend self-watering pots. You can find them here.
Care
Alocasias are heavy feeders and absolutely need fertilizer. Otherwise, it can happen that a new leaf grows, but the next one dies immediately because the necessary nutrient supply is missing. Therefore, regularly give them a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
Location
Alocasia prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the delicate leaves and should therefore be avoided.
Humidity and Temperature
Alocasias love high humidity, ideally around 60% to 80%, which is consistent with their tropical origin and supports the development of healthy, strong leaves.
Keep your Alocasia at a comfortable, warm room temperature of about 18°C to 24°C and protect it from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, as it comes from tropical regions and tolerates cold poorly.
