A unique, tropical look in your home.
Alocasias are absolutely stunning houseplants but can be a bit difficult for beginners. They require bright, indirect light- preferably behind a sheer curtain. They also love high humidity, as most tropical plants do. With the right care the payoff is big because this plant is gorgeous!
Alocasia houseplants do well with bright light, but no direct sun.
Keep soil moist spring through fall when plant is actively growing. Water sparingly in winter, allowing soil to become almost dry between watering.
Alocasia houseplants love a peat moss based mix, such as African violet potting mix.
We suggest Fertilome African Violet Potting Mix
Fertilize alocasia a couple of times a year to keep it healthy. Use any fertilizer formulated for use on houseplants.
We suggest Espoma Organic Indoor!
Alocasia plants like average warmth between 65-75°.
Alocasias requires moist air, preferably 50% relative humidity or higher.
Like most houseplants, alocasia plants are mildly toxic if eaten. They may cause some discomfort and vomiting when eaten. Keep away from animals and children.

This exotic houseplant is a stunning Alocasia. The leaves emerge with a coppery-green color and mature into a darker color and almost look metallic. The undersides of the leaves are a beautiful maroon color.
Hydrangeas do well in partially shaded areas like under a large tree or on the side of a house. They like to receive sun in the morning, and the partial shade is in the heat of the afternoon. In Colorado, too much full sun will cause them to get sunburned.
Hydrangea shrubs need to have well-draining soils that is rich in organic matter. Most Colorado soils will benefit from the addition of peat moss and compost that helps retain moisture. The pH determines the colors of the blooms. Acidic soil will give you blue flowers, and alkaline soil gives you pink flowers. Â
If hydrangea shrubs are given too much high-nitrogen fertilizer, they may grow full and lush, but there will be fewer flowers. If the soil is rich, fertilizer is not needed. Otherwise, a light application in March or April may be warranted.
Make sure to water your hydrangea shrubs regularly. Those big blooms require a lot of water to stay lush and full. About one inch of water throughout the week is ideal. If they receive more sun give them at least two inches during the hotter summer days.
