Good light helps keep its growth strong and upright, but avoid harsh direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves. Too little light may slow growth or cause the stems to lean.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWatering:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Keep the soil lightly moist, but never soggy. Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry, making sure excess water drains away fully. Alocasias dislike sitting in wet compost, but they also don’t like being left completely dry for long periods. Reduce watering in winter when growth naturally slows.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTemperature \u0026amp; Humidity:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e It loves warmth and humidity, so keep it away from cold draughts, chilly windowsills, and radiators.
