Care Information:
Light: Alocasia Mickey Mouse thrives in bright, indirect light. It’s happiest in a location with filtered sunlight, such as near a north—or east-facing window. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid waterlogging. In the winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth naturally slows.
- Humidity: Like most tropical plants, Alocasia Mickey Mouse enjoys high humidity. Consider using a humidity tray, placing it in a humid room like a bathroom, or misting it regularly to keep the air around it moist.
- **Temperature:** This plant prefers warm environments with temperatures ranging between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
