Alocasia amazonica ‘Bambino’ is one of those miniature house plants (up to 30cm tall) that fall into the ‘must-have’ category because they are so petite and appealing! It bears striking, shield-shaped dark leaves with silver veins. Place it in a warm, humid room that gets bright, indirect light. Let the soil almost dry out before watering. If the plant develops spider mites it means that the room is not humid enough. Spray with a dilution of neem oil and move the plant into a more humid space or closer to the humidifier.
