To propagate by division, remove your plant from its pot and gently divide the rhizome (underground stem) into two or more pieces. Make sure that each piece has at least one root and one leaf. Repot the divisions in individual pots and water them well.
To propagate by corm propagation, remove the corms (small tubers) from the rhizome of your plant. Plant the corms in individual pots filled with moist potting mix. Water the pots well and place them in a warm, humid location. The corms should sprout within a few weeks.
These Alocasia varieties are all relatively easy to care for, and they can be grown indoors or outdoors in warm climates. They all require bright, indirect light, moist soil, and high humidity. However, they are not as sensitive to fluctuations in temperature or humidity as some other Alocasia cultivars.
With proper care, these Alocasia plants can thrive for many years and produce stunning foliage that will add a touch of tropical flair to any home.
Happy Gardening!
