With the right care, its beautiful leaves can continue to develop, creating a lush and eye-catching display.\u003c!--\/if--\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--\/for--\u003e\u003c!--\/comp--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\u003c!--comp--\u003e\u003c!--for--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c!--comp--\u003e\u003c!--for--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c!--if--\u003eHeight:\u003c!--\/if--\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--\/for--\u003e\u003c!--\/comp--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c!--if--\u003e 22 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot diameter: \u003c\/strong\u003e8.5 cm\u003c!--\/if--\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--\/for--\u003e\u003c!--\/comp--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"x1ll2q23 x1a4oops\"\u003e\n\u003c!--comp--\u003e\u003c!--for--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c!--if--\u003eCare\u003c!--\/if--\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--\/for--\u003e\u003c!--\/comp--\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x1ll2q23 x1a4oops\"\u003e\n\u003c!--comp--\u003e\u003c!--for--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c!--if--\u003eLight\u003c!--\/if--\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--\/for--\u003e\u003c!--\/comp--\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\u003c!--comp--\u003e\u003c!--for--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c!--if--\u003ePlace your Alocasia amazonica in a bright location with plenty of indirect sunlight. Good lighting supports healthy growth and helps maintain the striking contrast of its dark green leaves and pale veins.

Water thoroughly when the surface of the growing medium begins to feel dry, and allow excess water to drain away freely. Avoid leaving the roots standing in water, as this can lead to root rot. During the cooler months, reduce watering slightly as growth may slow.

Protect it from cold draughts, sudden temperature changes and temperatures below approximately 15°C. Higher humidity helps keep the leaves looking healthy and can reduce the risk of dry leaf edges. Good air circulation is beneficial, but avoid placing the plant directly next to heating or air-conditioning vents. During the growing season, feed occasionally with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser to support healthy leaf development.\u003c!--\/if--\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--\/for--\u003e\u003c!--\/comp--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--\/for--\u003e\u003c!--\/comp--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Avalon - Gifts, Antiques \u0026 Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54297867649352,"sku":null,"price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/7816\/1831\/files\/IMG_1572.jpg?v=1791903950","url":"https:\/\/avalonplants.com\/nl\/products\/alocasia-amazonica","provider":"Avalon - Plants \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
