Alocasia, "Hilo Beauty"

The Alocasia ‘Hilo Beauty’ is an attractive, ornamental perennial plant that has bluish-black stems and variegated large heart-shaped leaves.  Each leaf is marked with various shades of pale white, lime green, with clear hued speckled blotches almost camouflaging the whole leaf.

☀  ☀ Light : 

Enjoys bright indirect light while indoors, part shade is advised for outdoor planting. 

 Water : 

Alocasias are water loving plants, so their soil must be kept moist all year long. Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. It may be beneficial to keep this plant near a humidifier to replicate the conditions of a tropical climate. 

+ Plant Tip : 

Fertilize your Alocasia plant with a diluted balanced fertilizer during spring every two weeks. Too much fertilizer causes minerals to build up in the soil and burns the leaves of an Alocasia Plant.
