About the Alocasia Pink Princess

Origin

An exotic hybrid created from two distinct Alocasia varieties native to Australia and Southeast Asia.

Air Purifying

While this royal amigo isn't a powerhouse air purifier, its foliage still helps trap airborne dust and contributes to fresh indoor oxygen!

Toxicity

Highly toxic to pets, humans, and horses. Alocasias contain calcium oxalate crystals that can cause burning, swelling, and severe stomach upset if ingested. Keep this pink-stemmed diva safely out of reach of curious critters and kids!

Caring for an Alocasia Pink Princess

Watering

Give this amigo a drink once the top 20–30% of the soil has dried out. Be careful not to overwater, as soggy soil will quickly lead to root rot!

Light and Placement

Bright, indirect light is essential for keeping those striking pink stems and deep green leaves vibrant! An east- or west-facing window works wonders—just protect it from harsh afternoon sun to avoid leaf scorch.

Nutrition

Feed this beauty once a month with a diluted, balanced fertilizer (like a 10-10-10 ratio) during the spring and summer growing season to encourage strong, healthy growth.

Repotting

These royal growers only need a new home every 1–2 years in early spring. When it's time, pick a pot that's just 1–2 inches larger than the current root ball!

Pruning and Flowering

Minimal maintenance required! Simply trim off any fading bottom leaves or spent blooms at the base to keep your plant looking fresh and fabulous.

Illness

Because this diva is extra sensitive to root rot, well-draining soil and a pot with drainage holes are a must. Keep an eye out for spider mites, too—they love hiding along those textured leaf undersides!
