Alocasia Jacklyn

A rare aroid prized for its deeply lobed, dramatically veined foliage — a true showpiece for any indoor jungle.

💧 Watering
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry to the touch, roughly every 7–9 days (less often in winter). Water thoroughly until it drains from the pot's bottom, and never let it sit in standing water — root rot is this plant's biggest enemy.

☀️ Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun (scorches leaves) and low light (causes leaf drop and slow growth). An east- or filtered south-facing window works well.

🌿 Care Level
Moderate — not ideal for total beginners. Jacklyn is sensitive to watering swings and prefers stable warmth (65–82°F) and higher humidity (60%+).

⚠️ Things to Watch For

• Like most aroids, best displayed out of reach of curious pets and kids
• Can go semi-dormant in winter — this is normal, not a sign of dying
• Watch for spider mites in dry conditions

🪴 Repotting
Repot once a year, or when roots are visibly crowded — ideally in early spring. Choose a pot only 1–2 inches larger than the current one; oversized pots hold excess moisture.

🌱 Soil
Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix: potting soil blended with perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir. This keeps roots aerated while retaining some moisture.
