Comprehensive Care Guide for Your Stingray Aurea

Caring for the Alocasia Stingray Aurea involves understanding its basic needs, which are not too dissimilar from other rare Alocasia species, yet crucial for its well-being.

Light Requirements

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can harm its delicate leaves, so positioning it near a window with a sheer curtain would be ideal.

Watering Frequency & Methods

Keep the soil of your Alocasia Stingray Aurea consistently moist but not waterlogged. Watering it once a week should suffice, but always check the top inch of the soil first. If it feels dry, it's time to water. We highly recommend water drainage oe self watering pots. 

Humidity and Temperature Preferences

A lover of humidity, the Stingray Aurea performs best in environments above 60% humidity. Its temperature sweet spot lies between 65°F and 75°F (18°C - 24°C). Consider placing it in a bathroom or kitchen where humidity levels are higher, or use a humidifier to achieve optimal conditions.

Ideal Soil Composition and Potting Tips

A well-draining soil mix that retains moisture is key. You can achieve this by integrating perlite or orchid bark into regular houseplant soil. When it comes to potting, ensure the vessel has adequate drainage holes to prevent root rot.

Common Pests/Issues and Solutions

Aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs might find your Alocasia appealing. Combat these by wiping the leaves with neem oil or a mild soap solution. Consistently inspect your plant to catch any problems early.
