Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light can cause slow growth and dull coloring.

• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid root rot.

• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. It loves a moist environment, so misting or placing the plant on a humidity tray is beneficial, especially in drier climates.

• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 18-24°C. Keep it away from cold drafts and ensure it stays warm throughout the year.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix to retain moisture without allowing the plant to become waterlogged.

• Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the cooler months.

• Pruning: Trim off any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain its tidy appearance and promote new growth.

• Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot.

• Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

With its fierce and captivating tiger-stripe leaves, the Alocasia Tigrina is sure to add a touch of wild elegance to your home! ✨🐅
