Best Locations For Growing Ivory Coast Alocasia Alocasia prefers a medium level of light and can be grown in many rooms in the house. Large-leaved plants like Alocasia are natural air cleaners and can help to filter out air-borne chemicals from rugs, paint, and furniture. Ivory Coast can cause skin irritation by sap oozing out of damaged leaves. Ivory Coast Alocasia Sunlight Requirements Alocasia appreciates bright indirect or medium light inside the house, such as an east- or west-facing window. During the winter months, when light levels are lower, grow lights can be used to boost light levels. These Elephant Ears can also be grown outdoors during the summer months. When growing outside, Alocasia needs a semi-shaded to dappled shade position. Direct sun outdoors will cause sunscalding of the leaves. Ivory Coast Alocasia Care Alocasia grows best when indoor temperatures are between 60-85 degrees F and humidity is high. Misting some water around the plant daily will provide the right humidity level. Choose a potting mix formulated for indoor plants and add worm castings and fine orchid bark mix to enhance the soil fertility and improve drainage. Make sure to repot once a year in late winter, just as new growth is starting to appear. New potting soil in a slightly larger pot will keep Ivory Coast Alocasia growing robustly. Watering Ivory Coast Alocasia Do not let the soil around the tuber dry out completely. The soil should feel like a sponge that is thoroughly wrung out.
