Alocasia Sabrina Mini

Alocasia ‘Sarian’ (often called Sabrina). It’s a striking hybrid with arrow-shaped leaves and bold venation. Here’s a full care guide:

🌱 Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate some gentle morning sun, but avoid harsh direct light which can scorch the leaves.

• Too little light = slower growth and smaller leaves.

💧 Watering

• Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.

• Water when the top 1 inch (2–3 cm) of soil feels dry.

• Use lukewarm, non-chlorinated water if possible.

• Cut back slightly in winter when growth slows.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Thrives in 65–80°F (18–27°C)
  

• Loves high humidity (60–80%). Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group plants together if your air is dry.

🌸 Fertilizing

• Feed every 4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer (around 20-20-20 or formulated for aroids).

• Reduce or pause feeding in fall/winter.

🪴 Soil

• Use a rich but well-draining mix, such as:

  • 1 part high-quality potting mix

  • 1 part perlite or pumice

  • 1 part orchid bark or coco coir

  • Optional: a small amount of compost or worm castings for nutrients.

🪴 Pot & Repotting

• Always choose a pot with good drainage.

• Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh soil and give roots more space.

✂️ Maintenance & Dormancy

• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and help prevent pests.

• Alocasias can go semi-dormant in winter: yellowing leaves, slower growth. This is normal — reduce watering and resume care when new growth appears.

🪲 Pests

• Watch for spider mites, thrips, and aphids — Alocasias are prone to them in dry air.

• Inspect undersides of leaves regularly and treat early with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
