Insights
Native to Papua New Guinea, Alocasia Brancifolia can be located in the lowland understorey regions of the rainforest, often in rather swampy zones, hence the genus’ requirements for high humidity and warm temperatures.

Plant Care:
Alocasia thrives well in high humidity and bright, indirect sunlight. Allow the top 3cm of soil to dry between watering; over-watering, wet leaves, and soggy soil makes the Alocasia susceptible to a variety of serious fungal infections. Place on a saucer filled with pebbles to replicate the humid rainforest environment.
