Caring for an Alocasia plant is easy with these short and simple instructions: 1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. 2.

Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth. Minimal pruning is needed. 8. Pests: Monitor for pests like spider mites and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. By following these care tips, your Alocasia will thrive and display its striking foliage.
