Fantastic plants for the garden or house are alocasias. In all except the hottest areas, they must be overwintered in pots or dug out and preserved as bulbs in a cold, dry spot since they are native to Southeast Asia & Australia and are acclimated to warm temperatures year-round. However, fertilizing alocasia plants is crucial to their healthy development regardless of how you cultivate them. Read on on the alocasia plant feeding and alocasia fertilization schedule.
Feeding Alocasias
Aloe plants can grow quite large. If they successfully overwinter over several years, they may reach a height of 10 feet (3 meters) and produce leaves that are 3 feet (1 metre) long. Fertilizer is essential for developing such beautiful plants.
Alocasias are strong feeders; therefore, the only method for keeping up with their hunger is to fertilize alocasia plants often. Mix 2 pounds (1 kg) of slow-release fertilizer per 100 square feet (9.5 sq m) of the soil before planting your aloes.
Every two to four weeks, continue your normal fertilization.
Fertilizer for Alocasia in Pots
If you are growing alocasias inside, is feeding them necessary? You most likely want your indoor plant to be less than three meters (ten feet) tall. But the thing with fertilizer is that it is not simply for quick expansion. Your aloe will almost never reach its maximum height if kept in a container, but it still needs regular fertilization—possibly much more so.
The small volume of soil in a container makes it easier for nutrients to be washed away. To keep your aloe vera plants growing strong and healthy, sprinkle water-soluble fertilizer on them after each watering.
If the leaves on your alocasia seem scorched, you use too much fertilizer. Reduce your fertilization schedule after flushing the container with lots of clean water until it drains out the drainage holes.
