Light

  • The Alocasia Stingray plant thrives in bright but indirect sunlight, so be sure to place it near a window that gets plenty of natural light but avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch its leaves.
  • If your home doesn’t get enough natural light, consider using artificial lighting such as fluorescent bulbs or LED grow lights that mimic natural sunlight.

Watering

  • This tropical beauty loves moist soil so make sure you water it regularly especially during warmer months when evaporation rate tends to rise.

    Aim for once or twice every week depending on how dry the soil feels – do not let them completely dry out or sit in standing water which can cause root rotting over time..

  • You can use rainwater distilled water instead if your tap water has high fluoride or chlorine content; these chemicals can harm the plant and cause brown spots on the leaves.
