  1. I am from hyderabad India. I bought a alocasia green and received it yesterday, 9 feb 2024 It has about 6″ long leaves with stalks, about 12 to 16 ” long. Some leaves are dark green and some are very light green. I right now put it in a balcony with morning sun . I can move it under a tree that is shielded from afternoon sun . Please advise. Thank you for your post and your time ,with warm regards

    1. Hey there!

      Congrats on your new alocasia! The variation in leaf color is normal, often indicating new growth (lighter leaves). Alocasias love bright, indirect light, so the morning sun on the balcony is great. However, they can be sensitive to direct afternoon sun, so moving it under the tree to shield it in the later part of the day is a wise choice. Keep an eye on the moisture level in the soil too, as they like to stay consistently damp but not soggy. Enjoy your beautiful plant!

      Warm regards and happy growing! 🌿😊
