The Alocasia Purple Sword, with its striking arrowhead-shaped leaves and deep purple undersides, is a captivating addition to any indoor jungle. This tropical beauty is known for its elegant foliage and adds a touch of drama to your space.
Light Needs: Alocasia Purple Sword thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or provide artificial light if natural light is limited.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Alocasia Purple Sword consistently moist during the growing season (spring and summer). Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. Reduce watering in the winter months but do not let the soil completely dry out.
Humidity Needs: This plant prefers high humidity levels. Aim for humidity levels between 50-60% or higher. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a room humidifier, or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water (ensure the pot sits above the water level).
