Gradual Acclimation: Introduce your plant to its new surroundings gradually. Start by placing it in a location with indirect sunlight, gradually increasing the exposure over a few weeks.

Humidity: Alocasias thrive in high humidity environments. Consider using a humidifier or placing a tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the plant to increase humidity levels.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, and ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Light: While these plants enjoy bright, indirect light, avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their delicate leaves. Alocasias prefer filtered or dappled sunlight.

Temperature: Maintain a temperature range between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid placing the plant near drafts or air conditioning vents.

Potting Medium: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and pine bark works well for Alocasias.

Fertilization: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

By following these care tips, your Golden Bone Variegated Alocasia will flourish and become a stunning focal point in your indoor garden. Enjoy the beauty and elegance this unique plant brings to your home!
