Alocasia Ninja Tricolour 10.5cm

🌿 Alocasia Ninja Tricolour Care Guide

The Alocasia Ninja Tricolour is a striking, high-contrast beauty known for its deep green to nearly black leaves, splashed with creamy whites and soft pink variegation. Compact but dramatic, it brings a mix of shadowy tones and pastel highlights — a true standout for Alocasia lovers who want something both fierce and delicate.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Essential for keeping all three colours vibrant

• Medium light = less pink and more green

• Avoid harsh direct sun — variegated areas scorch quickly

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, never soggy

• Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry between waterings

• Use an airy aroid mix (bark, perlite, coco coir, pumice)

• Overwatering = yellowing or soft stems

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)

• Perfect for cabinets, warm bathrooms, or grouped displays

• Low humidity causes crispy edges on pale patches

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 20–28°C

• Keep away from AC vents, drafts, or cold windows

• Avoid temps below 16°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer

• Use a gentle, diluted aroid fertilizer

• Pause feeding during winter dormancy

🌱 Quick Tips

• Expect natural leaf cycling — older leaves fade as new ones grow

• Rotate weekly for even colour distribution

• Stake if stems become stretchy in lower light

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