Alocasia triangularis is an Alocasia known for its distinctive triangular leaves with tightly ruffled edges. This compact plant typically reaches heights of 60 to 120 cm, making it well-suited for indoor cultivation. Its unique foliage and manageable size make it perfect for growing indoors.

Native to

Alocasia triangularis originates from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, where it thrives in warm, humid environments beneath the forest canopy.

Water

Maintain consistently moist soil for Alocasia triangularis, ensuring it is neither waterlogged nor dry. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away to prevent root rot.

Light

This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it’s best to place it near a window with filtered light or in a well-lit room away from direct sun exposure.

Humidity

Alocasia triangularis thrives in high humidity levels, ideally between 60% and 70%. To achieve this, consider using a humidifier, placing the plant on a pebble tray with water, or grouping it with other plants to create a more humid microenvironment.

Temperature

Maintain indoor temperatures between 18C and 24C for optimal growth. Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 15C, as it is sensitive to cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
