Plant Look & Feel

Alocasia Serengeti is a dramatic, architectural beauty. Its elongated, arrow-shaped leaves boast a deep green base with bold, silvery-white veining that creates a lightning-like effect across each leaf. The leaves grow upright on strong stems, giving the plant a sculptural, tropical presence. Sleek, modern, and commanding, it’s perfect for collectors seeking a bold statement plant with character and elegance.
 

Care Guide

Light:

  • Bright, indirect light is ideal to highlight leaf veining

  • Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch leaves

  • Tolerates medium light but growth may slow

Water:

  • Keep soil lightly moist but never waterlogged

  • Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil dries out

  • Reduce watering in cooler months

Humidity:

  • Prefers high humidity (60%+) for optimal leaf health

  • Occasional misting or a humidifier helps

Temperature:

  • Thrives in 18–28°C

  • Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops

Soil:

  • Well-draining aroid mix is essential (bark, perlite, coco peat or peat moss)

  • Good root airflow prevents rot
     

Pet & Reptile Safety

Quick Care Tips

  • Rotate plant for even growth

  • Maintain high humidity to keep leaves crisp and healthy

  • Wipe leaves to highlight veining and remove dust

  • Avoid overwatering — drainage is key
     

Troubleshooting

Yellowing leaves:

  • Usually due to overwatering or poor drainage. Let soil dry slightly.

Brown tips or edges:

  • Low humidity or inconsistent watering. Increase humidity and water evenly.

Drooping leaves:

  • Can indicate underwatering or sudden temperature changes.

Slow growth or dull leaf veining:

  • Often linked to low light. Move to brighter indirect light and feed lightly during the growing season.
