Care
Jewel Alocasias are incredibly easy to care for among the Alocasias. The care will almost be identical! Water when the soil has dried out roughly 3/4ths of the way in the pot. This may roughly every 7-10 days depending on your home environment. They will need bright filtered flight though can handle some dappled direct sun as long as it is not too intense. When repotting, use a semi-coarse soil that will drain water well.
