About the plant:
Alocasia, or alocasia in Czech, is a genus of the Araceae family . These plants are massive herbs with a thick rhizome. Their homeland is the subtropical and tropical regions of Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

Alocasia Curly Bambino is a compact and elegant houseplant native to the tropical regions of Asia. It is characterized by its narrow, dark green leaves with pronounced ribbing and wavy edges that give the plant a dramatic appearance. Thanks to its exotic appearance and smaller size, it is ideal for modern interiors, where it will add a stylish accent. Alocasia Curly Bambino is easy to care for, but requires higher humidity and regular watering, which makes it a great choice for lovers of expressive and unconventional plants.

Alocasia generally belongs to the rather demanding houseplants, which are sensitive to temperature, humidity and overwatering. At the same time, keep in mind with allocations that they often replace old leaves with new ones (so they usually do not increase their number).
In Southeast Asia and Oceania, they are particularly popular for their edible rhizomes and small boiled leaves. Although in the raw state they contain calcium oxalate, which causes mucous membrane irritation and nausea, they are edible after heat treatment. At the same time, the rhizomes are also sought after by Indian and South Asian traditional medicine for their healing effects.

Light

The plant needs enough diffused light for healthy growth. Avoid direct sunlight, which could burn the leaves. The ideal site is the north and east side near the windows or the west side with fading weak sunlight.

Watering

Water in 1-2 weeks, it prefers wetter soil. However, let the upper part of the substrate dry out between waterings. Overwatering could cause rotting of the roots.

Humidity

Propagation

Older plants can be propagated by division or broken tubers. Leaf cuttings are a big nut to grow, so it is not recommended to use them to propagate.
