You can expect this Alocasia to reach a mature height between 48 and 96 inches. The exact size will depend on your local climate, soil quality, and how consistently you provide water and nutrients during the growing season.

Yes, but you will need to treat it as an annual or lift the bulbs in the fall. While it is hardy in zones 9-11, gardeners in zones 3-8 should dig up the tubers before the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over the winter.

Yes, the fragrance is exceptionally strong. The pale peach blooms release a distinct, delightful scent that is most potent after sunset, making it a great choice for planting near patios or seating areas where you spend time in the evening.

It is quite versatile and thrives in anything from full sun to partial shade. If you live in an area with extremely hot, intense summers, providing some afternoon shade will help prevent the large leaves from scorching.

Because these plants grow quite large and have a dramatic, upright habit, you should space them at least 36 inches apart. This ensures they have enough room to develop their full, lush foliage without competing for nutrients or light.

Moderate watering means keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. You should water deeply whenever the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring the plant never completely dries out during the peak of summer.
