Alocasia Triangularis

Size: 30cm

Alocasia triangularis is a rare and striking species of Alocasia, known for its uniquely triangular-shaped leaves and elegant growth pattern. Like other Alocasias, it thrives under tropical-style care and needs consistency to stay healthy and happy.

Here’s a complete care guide for Alocasia triangularis:

🌤️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Avoid harsh, direct sunlight – it can scorch the leaves.

• Can tolerate medium light, but growth may slow.

Too little light = leggy growth, smaller leaves
Too much sun = crispy edges, sunburn spots

💧 Watering

• Keep soil evenly moist, but never soggy.

• Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings.

• Avoid letting the plant sit in water—this can cause root rot.

Tip: Water less in winter when growth slows or dormancy begins.

🌱 Soil

• Use a well-draining, chunky aroid mix:

  • 1 part peat or coco coir

  • 1 part perlite or pumice

  • 1 part orchid bark

  • Optional: a bit of activated charcoal

💨 Humidity

• Thrives in 60–80% humidity.

• Consider a humidifier or a pebble tray if your environment is dry.

• Avoid placing near heaters, vents, or drafts.

🌡️ Temperature

• Prefers 65–85°F (18–29°C).
