Why does Alocasia Frydek lose its leaves?

Leaf loss in Alocasia Frydek can be caused by: temperatures too low (below 15°C), insufficient or excessive watering, insufficient light, or winter dormancy. The plant naturally sheds old leaves as it produces new ones. If it loses all leaves, the tuber can regenerate in spring under proper conditions.

Yes, according to ASPCA, Alocasia contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic to dogs, cats, and humans. Symptoms include oral irritation, excessive drooling, and difficulty swallowing. Keep the plant elevated, inaccessible to pets and children.

What humidity does Alocasia Frydek need?

Alocasia Frydek needs 60–80% humidity to maintain its velvety leaf texture. In the cold season, use a humidifier or place the plant on a tray with wet pebbles. Low humidity causes dry tips and crispy leaf edges.

Does Alocasia Frydek go dormant?
