Care Guide:
Lighting: To preserve the bright yellow variegation, place in bright, indirect light. Direct sun can cause scorch, but too little light may result in greener, less variegated growth.
Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry, keeping the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Use a pot with drainage to prevent root rot.
Humidity: As a tropical species, this plant loves high humidity—aim for 60% or more. Misting, pebble trays, or a humidifier can help replicate its native environment.
Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix, such as potting soil blended with perlite and orchid bark.
Feeding: During the growing season (spring to early fall), feed monthly with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Hold off on feeding during winter dormancy.
Dormancy Tips: In cooler seasons, Alocasia gageana ‘Aurea’ may drop some leaves and enter dormancy. Reduce watering and wait for new growth in spring.
