BuddingGrowing & Maintenance Tips for Alocasia Mythic™ 'Frydek'
Caring for Alocasia 'Frydek' involves providing the right balance of light, moisture, and humidity. It thrives in bright, indirect light but should be kept away from direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. The soil should be well-draining and kept consistently moist, but avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. High humidity is key for this tropical plant, so consider using a humidifier or placing it near other plants to boost moisture levels. Alocasia 'Frydek' prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C) and should be protected from drafts and cold air. Regularly wipe the leaves to remove dust and prevent pests like spider mites, which can be attracted to its foliage.
