Alocasia Wentii Aurea Gold Variegated Care Basics

Bright indirect light enhances gold variegation. Direct sun burns pale tissue quickly. East-facing windows offer a good balance.

Keep lightly moist with small dry-back. Overwatering causes corm rot; underwatering causes droop. After transit reduce watering slightly until stable.

60–75% humidity preferred for best appearance. Dry air browns pale edges. Avoid placement under vents or heaters.

Ideal 70–85°F. Below 60°F slows growth and risks stress. Avoid cold drafts.

Use chunky aroid mix with bark and perlite. Avoid heavy mixes. Repot once rootbound.

Variegation varies leaf to leaf. Acclimates within 1–3 weeks after shipping.

Sunburn on pale areas → too much direct light

Yellowing → moisture imbalance

Leaf curl → dry air
