Light: Bright, Indirect light
Water: Moderate
Zone: 8-11
Pet Safe: Toxic
Temperature: Colocasias like to keep warm, keep them inside tempurates between 16-28 degrees Celcius. Any colder and they will go dormant, too warm and they will burn
Light: Colocasia are sensitive to direct sunlight, and will burn. Keep them near a west facing window, or a few feet away from an east or south facing window. Too much light and their leaves will burn
Watering: Colocasia love high humidity, but can't stand their soil soggy. They are prone to root rot, so water moderately when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry. To increase humidity, keep a tray filled with clean water and pebbles underneath the pot. Don't let the pot stand in water
Fertilizer: Fertilize once every 2-3 weeks with a diluted water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (April - August)
Soil: Well draining soil is a must for colocasia. A mixture that is organically rich will allow them to thrive. Keep the soil damp, but not soggy
