Alocasia Pseudo-Sanderiana

Meet the Alocasia Pseudo-Sanderiana, the drama queen of the plant world! With its striking, arrow-shaped leaves adorned with bold silver veins and wavy edges, this plant is like a living piece of art. Often nicknamed the "African Mask Plant" or "Elephant Ears," it’s the perfect addition to any space that needs a touch of tropical flair and a whole lot of personality.

Care Guide:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is its jam! Think of it as a diva who loves the spotlight but avoids harsh direct sunlight—it might scorch those gorgeous leaves.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again. Overwatering? Big no-no—it’s like giving it too much attention!
• Humidity: High humidity is a must. Mist it regularly or place it near a humidifier to keep it happy. Dry air? That’s a deal-breaker.
• Temperature: Loves warmth, ideally above 15°C (60°F). Keep it away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes—it’s not a fan of surprises.
• Soil: A well-draining mix is key. Think potting soil with a splash of perlite or cocopeat for that perfect balance.
• Fertiliser: Feed it a diluted liquid fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer) for a boost of energy.
