Alocasia Jacklyn 12cm

🌿 Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ Care Guide

Jacklyn is all about wild jungle character — deeply lobed, antler-shaped leaves with bold dark veining that look like they belong in a prehistoric rainforest. Unusual, architectural, and full of personality, it's one of the most distinctive Alocasias you can grow. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Strong filtered light encourages compact growth and bold leaf detail
• Avoid direct sun — leaves can scorch easily
• Medium light is tolerated, but growth may slow

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy
• Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings
• Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix
• Excellent drainage is essential to prevent root rot

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)
• Higher humidity encourages healthy foliage and easier unfurling
• Warm, stable conditions produce the best growth
• Avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature changes

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced diluted liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding during cooler months or dormancy

🌱 Quick Tips

• Chunky, airy substrate helps maintain healthy roots
• May become dormant if temperatures drop significantly
• Rotate regularly for balanced growth
• Wipe leaves occasionally to keep the intricate veining looking its best
