Alocasia macrorrhizos not only has a name that is both Zen-like and full of vitality, but also tenacious and sturdy vitality, so many plant lovers grow it at home, but have they really grown it well? In fact, whether a potted plant is grown well mainly depends on whether its stems are thick and sturdy enough and whether its leaves are glossy, all of which can show whether the plant is healthy, but how can you grow Alocasia macrorrhizos thick and sturdy?

I. Growing methods:

1. Light:

Many people underestimate the light factor, but it originally grows in rainy forests in low-latitude regions, so it does not like overly strong sunlight and can actually grow better in places with little sunlight, so at noon when the sunlight is too strong you can take certain shading measures.

2. Temperature:

Alocasia macrorrhizos is a plant that tolerates heat but not cold, and it will not show any signs of discomfort in a relatively high-temperature environment. If they grow for a long time in a place where the temperature is too low, it will instead have a certain effect on the stems, so when growing it you need to choose a suitable temperature to be able to grow it thick and sturdy and healthy. In winter you should pay special attention and must not let it freeze.

3. Soil:

Alocasia macrorrhizos actually has no special requirements for soil, and it is similar to other flowers; just let them grow in soil with good air permeability and drainage.

4. Watering:

Alocasia macrorrhizos itself very much likes humid places with plenty of water. If it is in a very dry place, try not to sprinkle water on their leaves. A ventilated and clean indoor environment is more suitable for growing it. The winter wind is rather piercing and bitterly cold, so at this time you should gradually reduce the frequency of watering. The specific frequency does not need to be fixed; just decide according to changes in climate and season. When watering in winter, do not keep using cold water; you should switch to warm water.

5. Fertilizing:

Alocasia macrorrhizos needs timely fertilizing, especially in the season when spring returns to the earth; try to ensure fertilizing once about every two weeks. Maintaining this fertilizing pattern can make the leaves look overall lush green and compact.

II. Precautions:

In addition to doing the above steps, pruning is also something that must be done. Remove yellowing leaves in time, as this also helps the growth of Alocasia macrorrhizos. When watering Alocasia macrorrhizos, do not choose to use dirty water to water the flowers just to save effort.
