🌿 Alocasia ‘Ninja Tricolour’ Care Guide

The Alocasia ‘Ninja Tricolour’ is a striking beauty — a compact powerhouse with dark green to near-black leaves splashed with creamy white and soft green variegation. Mysterious yet elegant, it’s a tropical treasure that brings bold contrast and refined drama to your indoor jungle.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to keep variegation vibrant

• Can tolerate medium light, but colours may soften

• Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the pale areas

💧 Water

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

• Use a well-draining mix (bark, perlite, coco coir) to protect the roots

• Avoid waterlogging — this Ninja prefers precision over excess

🌫️ Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60%+) to maintain lush, healthy foliage

• Mist gently or use a humidifier for best results

• Dry air can lead to crispy leaf edges or dull variegation

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer

• Pause feeding during autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Rotate occasionally for even light exposure

• Wipe leaves gently to maintain their sheen and showcase the variegation

• Not pet-safe — keep away from cats and dogs
