Alocasia Gageana, also known as dwarf elephant ear, is a stunning tropical plant native to Southeast Asia. It is a popular houseplant for its large, glossy arrowhead-shaped leaves with distinctive veins.

Light: Alocasias need bright, but indirect light. Direct sun will cause the leaves to burn, so avoid placing your Alocasia in a spot where it'll be exposed to direct sun for a prolonged period. This plant is not tolerant of lower light conditions though, so make sure the space you're placing yours in feels very bright.

Water: Alocasias prefer evenly moist soil. Allow the top 2-3" to dry between watering to ensure the plant isn't sitting in soil that is too wet. They love high humidity so like to be misted. During the winter, Alocasias will go through a dormancy period and will require less frequent waterings as the soil will take longer to dry.
