Pro Tip
Bambino may go semi-dormant in cooler months—reduce watering and wait for it to bounce back in spring. Clean the leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them glossy and pest-free.
-
Light and Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause slow growth or fading. A well-lit room with filtered light is ideal—north or east-facing windows work well.
-
Watering and Care
Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Alocasia Bambino enjoys stable humidity and benefits from regular misting or placement near a humidifier. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
-
Growth and Size
This is a naturally compact plant, typically growing 12 to 18 inches tall. Its upright shape and tidy size make it a great option for tabletops or as part of a grouped display.
-
Pet-Friendly?
Alocasia Bambino is considered toxic if ingested. Best to keep it away from pets that like to nibble on plants.
