Overview:
Tiny Dancer is a compact, whimsical Alocasia variety with slender, arching stems and playful upright foliage. Its unique shape and moderate size make it ideal for tabletops, small spaces, and container arrangements. A great starter Alocasia for collectors who want something sculptural but manageable.
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate medium light, but growth may slow.
Water: Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings. Avoid soggy soil to prevent root rot.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity (above 60%). Use a humidifier or pebble tray if grown indoors.
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65–80°F. Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Soil: Use a well-draining aroid mix with ingredients like perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir or peat.
Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.
Care Note: This variety may go semi-dormant in cooler months with reduced growth. Maintain warm, humid conditions year-round to avoid dormancy.
