1. Watering: Although the Alocasia odora can basically be kept alive, it can easily grow too tall due to too much water. Do not over-water it. Also, stop watering it on rainy days. The Alocasia odora is very easy to grow and the soil can be prepared at will. However, the soil should not be kept moist for a long time, as the Alocasia odora will easily grow too tall.

2. Light: The Alocasia odora is not tolerant to strong sunlight exposure. It needs to be shaded when the light intensity is high in the summer. It can be exposed to full sunlight in other seasons. Plenty of sunlight can make the leaf tips of the Alocasia odora turn red and purple, improving its ornamental value.

3. Ventilation: The Alocasia odora likes a ventilated environment, which can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria, especially in midsummer. It is necessary to ventilate frequently and maintain air circulation so that the Alocasia odora can grow faster.

4. Temperature: If the temperature is above 30 degrees in summer, appropriate shade is needed, ventilation should be enhanced, and watering should be controlled. If the temperature is below 5 degrees in winter, the frequency of watering can be reduced. If it is lower, consider moving indoors to overwinter and receive sufficient light.

5. Pruning : Before planting the old Alocasia odora stump, you can trim the rotten roots and dead roots, and disinfect them with a solution of polysaccharides. When the plant enters the growth period, cut off the diseased and dead branches, weak branches, and old and diseased yellow leaves one by one. This can reduce nutrient consumption and is beneficial for the purpose of aesthetics.

6. Use pots : Because old Alocasia odora likes to grow in an environment with good drainage and ventilation, it must be grown in a well-drained and breathable flower pot.
