The Alocasia azlanii, also known as the Jewel Alocasia or Red Mambo, is a rare and highly sought-after houseplant prized for its iridescent, dark green leaves with striking purple veins and a purple underside.

Here’s how to care for Alocasia Azlanii:  

Light:

  • Prefers bright, indirect light. An east or west-facing window with filtered sunlight is ideal.  
  • Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
  • It can tolerate lower light conditions, but this may result in less vibrant foliage and slower growth. Grow lights can be used as a supplement.

Water:

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.  
  • Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel slightly dry to the touch.
  • Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.  
  • Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months.  

Humidity:

  • Alocasia azlanii thrives in high humidity, ideally above 60%.  
  • Low humidity can lead to stunted growth and brown leaf edges or spots.  
  • Increase humidity by misting regularly (2-3 times a day), using a humidifier, or placing the pot on a pebble tray filled with water. Grouping plants together can also help.  

Temperature:

  • Maintain average household temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F).  
  • Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant.  

Soil:

  • Use a well-draining, aerated potting mix that can retain some moisture.  
  • A mix of two parts perlite or coconut husk and one part potting soil is often recommended.

Fertilizer:

  • Alocasia azlanii is a relatively heavy feeder.  
  • Fertilize once a month during the spring and summer growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.  
  • Do not fertilize during the fall and winter when the plant is dormant. Ensure the soil is damp before fertilizing to avoid burning the roots.  

Toxicity:

  • Alocasia azlanii is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.  

Common Problems:

  • Yellowing leaves: Can be a sign of overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiencies.  
  • Drooping leaves: Often indicates underwatering or low humidity.  
  • Brown leaf edges or spots: Usually caused by low humidity or inconsistent watering.
  • Root rot: Results from overwatering and poorly draining soil.  
  • Spider mites: These pests can infest the plant, look for webbing on the leaves and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.  

With the right care, your Alocasia azlanii can be a stunning and unique addition to your indoor plant collection!
