Alocasia Teletubbies

This plant is classified as intermediate care. While it isn't the most demanding variety, it does require consistent attention to humidity and watering, so it is best suited for those who have kept a few houseplants successfully before.

Because Alocasias are sensitive to environmental changes, your plant may experience a brief adjustment phase after arriving at your home. During this time, keep it in a stable location with consistent light and humidity to help it settle in without stress.

No, the Alocasia Teletubbies is not pet-safe. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if ingested by cats or dogs, so we recommend placing it in a spot that is inaccessible to your pets.

Alocasias thrive in high humidity, typically above 50%. If your home is dry, especially during winter, you may need to place the plant near a humidifier or on a pebble tray to maintain the moisture levels it needs to prevent crispy leaf edges.

No, it prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light will cause the plant to grow slowly or become leggy. A spot near an east-facing window or a few feet back from a south-facing window is usually ideal.

While once a week is a good baseline, always check the soil moisture first. Stick your finger about an inch into the soil; if it feels slightly dry, it is time to water. If it is still damp, wait a few more days to avoid overwatering.
