🌿 Alocasia ‘Mickey Mouse’ Care Guide

The Alocasia ‘Mickey Mouse’ is a whimsical variegated variety known for its bold green and creamy-yellow marbled leaves that often form shapes resembling its famous namesake’s ears! Cheerful and dramatic, this plant adds personality, colour, and a touch of fun to any tropical collection.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its striking variegation

• Can tolerate medium light, but leaves may lose some colour contrast

• Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the lighter areas

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top 2–3 cm to dry between waterings

• Loves a well-draining mix — bark, perlite, and coco coir work perfectly

• Avoid letting it sit in water to prevent root rot

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60%+) for lush, vibrant growth

• Mist gently or use a humidifier to keep it thriving

• Dry air may cause crisp edges on the variegated parts

🍽️ Feeding

• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer

• Pause feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Rotate regularly to keep the variegation even and growth upright

• Wipe leaves gently to highlight their bold patterns

• Not pet-safe — keep out of reach of cats and dogs
