Care Guide for Alocasia 'Pink Bambino Variegated'

1. Light:

  • Ideal: Bright, indirect sunlight is essential to preserve the vibrant variegation and prevent fading.
  • Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves, and low light, which may cause slower growth and less pronounced variegation.

2. Watering:

  • Frequency: Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry. This is usually every 7–10 days, depending on the environment.
  • Caution: Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Always use a pot with good drainage.

3. Humidity:

  • Prefers high humidity levels of 60%–80%. Increase humidity with a humidifier, misting, or a pebble tray.

4. Temperature:

  • Thrives in temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F).
  • Keep away from draughts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F), as it is sensitive to cold.

5. Soil:

  • Use a well-draining, rich potting mix. A mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal.

6. Feeding:

  • Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertiliser.
  • Reduce feeding during autumn and winter when the plant’s growth slows.

7. Pruning and Maintenance:

  • Prune to remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's tidy appearance.
  • Gently clean the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and promote photosynthesis.

8. Repotting:

  • Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger to avoid excessive water retention in the soil.

9. Propagation:

  • Propagate by dividing the rhizomes during repotting.
  • Carefully separate offsets and plant them in fresh, moist soil.

10. Pests and Problems:

  • Prone to pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap for treatment.
  • Yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering, while browning tips may signal low humidity or underwatering.
