🧾 Please Note (Alocasia Care Behavior):
Alocasia are naturally dynamic plants and may occasionally shed older leaves as part of their normal growth cycle — including a natural rest period in fall and winter where some leaf yellowing or die-back is completely normal. This allows the plants to redirect energy into producing new, healthy foliage. With stable conditions and proper care, they will continue to replace leaves and remain vigorous over time.
All photos are representative examples only. Each plant is naturally unique and will vary in size, shape, and leaf texture while remaining consistent with the described variety.

Plant Care Guide
Light: Place your Alocasia ‘Lukiwan’ in bright, indirect light. It grows best near a window where it receives plenty of filtered light. Avoid strong direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Water: Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm (about 1 inch) of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months when growth slows.
Soil: Use a well-draining aroid soil mix. A mix containing orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir helps keep the roots aerated while retaining enough moisture.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid cold drafts, air conditioners, or sudden temperature changes.
Humidity: As a tropical plant, it appreciates moderate to high humidity (60% or higher). It will grow best in a humid room, near a humidifier, or in a plant cabinet.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer to support healthy leaf growth.
Repotting: Repot when the plant becomes rootbound, typically every 1–2 years. Choose a pot with good drainage.
Tips:
• Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them glossy.
• Yellow leaves may indicate overwatering.
• Brown edges can sign

Seasonal Care Tips
Spring
As light and growth increase, provide bright indirect light, refresh watering when the top 2–5 cm of soil is dry, and maintain steady warmth with moderate to high humidity.
Summer
Protect foliage from intense afternoon sun, water more consistently as soil dries faster, and keep humidity elevated. Avoid hot drafts and temperatures above 30°C.
Fall
As daylight softens, move plants closer to bright filtered light, gradually reduce watering, and keep them away from cool windows and drafts.
Winter
Provide the brightest available indirect light, water sparingly once the soil begins to dry, and maintain humidity while keeping plants comfortably above 15°C. Avoid placing them beside radiators or cold glass.
