Moisture Retening
How to fine-tune your watering routine to ensure your Alocasia thrive?
Leafy™ Alocasia #003 is an airy, soil-free blend designed to balance drainage and moisture retention. Because Alocasias have both fine and thick roots, this mix holds enough moisture to support them while still allowing airflow. Watering should support this balance, keeping the mix evenly moist without letting it stay wet or dry out completely.

Thorough Soaking
When it's time to water, give your plant a generous, thorough soak until water flows from the drainage holes. This practice ensures the entire root system receives hydration.
