JOMO Studio Alocasia Tea Party

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. If the light is too low, the leaves may lose their deep, dramatic color and the stems can become leggy as they stretch toward the source.

No, the Alocasia Tea Party is moderately toxic if ingested. It is best kept in a room or on a shelf that is completely inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.

It means the plant is sensitive to its environment, particularly humidity and watering. You will need to monitor soil moisture closely and ensure it receives consistent humidity, as it will not tolerate being completely dried out or sitting in soggy soil.

During winter, the plant enters a period of dormancy where growth slows significantly. Reduce your watering frequency during this time, but ensure the plant stays in a warm spot away from cold drafts or heating vents.

The plant arrives in a standard 4-inch plastic nursery pot. You will need to purchase a decorative container separately, ideally one with drainage holes to keep the root system healthy.

You can boost humidity by placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water, grouping it with other tropical plants, or using a small humidifier nearby. Misting is generally ineffective and can sometimes encourage fungal issues on the leaves.
