The Alocasia Antoro Velvet is a striking tropical plant known for its velvety, deep green leaves with prominent veins that create an elegant contrast. This rare Alocasia variety adds a touch of sophistication to any indoor plant collection. Its compact growth habit makes it a great choice for small spaces, while its dramatic foliage ensures it remains a focal point.

 

Alocasia Antoro Velvet Care Tips:

1. Light:

Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause slower growth.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining, airy soil mix containing orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir to ensure proper aeration and prevent root rot.

3. Watering:

Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering, as Alocasias are prone to root rot. Reduce watering in the cooler months.

4. Humidity:

Thrives in high humidity levels (60% or more). A humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting can help maintain ideal conditions.

5. Temperature:

Prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

6. Fertilization:

Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

7. Propagation:

Propagate through division by separating offsets from the mother plant during repotting.

8. Pests & Diseases:

Watch for spider mites, aphids, or mealybugs. Wipe leaves regularly and use insecticidal soap if necessary.
