Elephant Ear (Alocasia) Brown Patches: Light and Water Precision

Alocasia needs bright indirect light (a few hours of direct sun ok) and water when the top half‑inch of soil feels dry. Avoid hard or cold water. Keep it in a small pot, fertilize rarely at half strength when actively growing. Wipe leaves weekly with a damp sponge to prevent spider mites. It's unforgiving of watering mistakes.
