Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.

How to fertilize Wildcat Orchid
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Wildcat Orchid after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

DD1 ditched work yesterday so she could stay home and just be a momma, so in turn I had the day off as well! Guess where I went…? 🤪 Never had this kind of orchid either—seriously hope I don’t kill it! Also, can anyone tell me what specific kind of Alocasia this is? Similar to philodendron, there are just so many and I’m not familiar enough with them in general to identify on my own, and Greg doesn’t want to tell me for some reason… 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #BooksAndPlants #PlantAddict #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #OrchidLovers #EyeCandyOrchid #HisLobster #TraderJoes #HiltonCarver
