Alocasia Corazon doesn’t require additional humidity. Plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves, so the best way to provide humidity for your plants is through watering the soil.

Alocasia Corazon does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!

Alocasia Corazon should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!

It’s common for Alocasia Corazon to go dormant in the wintertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.

Alocasia Corazon is native to tropical and subtropical Asia and Eastern Australia.
