Alocasia 'Portadora' (Upright Elephant Ear) Winter Care

Brown Edges = Winter Stress, Not Death

Alocasia portadora goes dormant in winter. Brown leaf margins are normal. Keep alive until spring (temps >70°F), then move outdoors. It can reach 8 ft in ground.

Winter Care

• Reduce water; let soil dry well.
• Bright indoor light.
• Don't panic if it dies back—it returns from the tuber.
