The Alocasia Macrorrhiza needs a bit more care than the average houseplant. This houseplant likes the soil to be constantly moist. It also prefers at least five hours of sunshine a day. The Alocasia Macrorrhiza is very sensitive to watering. The leaves will start drooping limply if not enough water is given. The soil of the Alocasia Macrorrhiza therefore needs to be constantly moist. Too much water can cause the plant to root. So pay close attention to this. The roots should absolutely not be submerged. Drops of water can also fall off the leaves. This is called guttation and cannot be prevented.
