Water after the upper compost has started to dry, then drain thoroughly; repeated saturation is particularly risky when the plant is growing slowly. In winter, an alocasia may produce fewer leaves or lose some older foliage, so adjust watering to the plant rather than maintaining a fixed summer schedule. Wipe the broad leaves gently to remove dust and keep them away from hot radiators, cold glass and draughts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide bright indirect light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep warm with good humidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater when the upper compost starts to dry and drain well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduce watering if growth slows in winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarmful if eaten; keep away from chewing pets and children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, dark leaves are the main feature.
