How to grow and maintain Kris plant: Light: It thrives best in bright, indirect light but will survive in shade. Avoid direct sunlight.
Soil: It grows well in a well-drained but moist, rich organic mix. Try to avoid wet, mucky or dry, sandy soils.
Water: Water your plant regularly during the growing season and always keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. You can allow the topsoil to become slightly dry between each watering. Alocasia plants require less water during the winter when its dormant.
Fertilizer: Fertilize your Kris plant with a diluted balanced fertilizer from spring every two weeks and stop at the end of August then start again at the beginning of spring.
Pruning: Remove any yellow leaves or those that develop brown or black spots from an Alocasia plant as that may be a sign of a fungal disease.
