Care Instructions:
Alocasia 'Antoro Velvet' is a bit of a diva when it comes to care, but with the right attention, it will thrive and reward you with its stunning foliage.

- Light: This plant loves bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some low light, it will thrive best in a well-lit spot away from direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Alocasias prefer humid environments, so it’s important to water them regularly, especially during the growing season. However, be cautious not to let the plant sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.
- Humidity: Alocasia 'Antoro Velvet' thrives in high humidity. If your home gets too dry, consider using a humidifier, or place the plant on a tray filled with water and pebbles to increase humidity levels around it.
- Temperature: This tropical beauty prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 15-27°C. Avoid placing it in drafty areas or near cold windows, as it’s sensitive to cold temperatures.
- Soil: Well-draining potting soil is a must. A mix designed for tropical plants, or a peat-based blend with added perlite, will help ensure the roots stay healthy and oxygenated.
