About
Alocasia odora, also known as Giant taro, or night-scented lily is native to Southeastern Asia. It's a striking and fast growing tropical perenial prized for its massive, paddled shaped glossy leaves. It is a sensitive plant and needs attentive care, especially in the winter.
Care
Light: A bright room, but indirect sunlight. Brighter light will earn you larger leaves.
Water: Alocasias hate wet feet, but they hate to dry out, too -- you'll see the stalks droop if it gets too thirsty. Give it a medium watering when the plant is about 80% dry.
Humidity: Likes a moist environment.
