Water until liquid runs from drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and discard excess water. Do not allow your plant to sit in standing water as it will lead to root rot. Allowing soil to slightly dry permits oxygen to reach the roots. Humidity: Alocasias can adapt to lower humidity levels but will flourish in an environment with more moisture. You can add humidity around your plant by placing it on a pebble tray or misting it occasionally. Fertilizer: Alocasias only require fertilizer in spring, summer, and early autumn. Use a balanced fertilizer and follow package recommendations. Aluminum Care This tropical is named for the silver flecks on its shiny green leaves. Aluminum, or Pilea Cadierei, has an easy-going nature which makes it a wonderful house plant. Annual pruning encourages the plant to produce more leaves and keeps it looking full. Lighting: This plant prefers indirect, bright light to maintain its unique colouring. Avoid direct sun which is likely to cause burnt foliage. Irrigation: Allow the soil to slightly dry between thorough irrigations. Water until liquid runs from drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and discard excess water.

Water until liquid runs from drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and discard excess water. Do not allow your plant to sit in standing water as it will lead to root rot. Humidity: Banana plants thrive in an environment with higher moisture levels. When kept indoors, add humidity around your plant by using a mister, pebble tray, or humidifier. Consider placing this plant in a kitchen or bathroom where humidity levels are higher. Fertilizer: Use a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season- spring and summer.
