Outdoor Alocasia Dormancy vs. Death in Mediterranean Climate

Indoor Expertise Only

My experience is with potted indoor plants. Alocasia outdoors in Mediterranean zones may go dormant or die back in winter—I lack field experience.

Kept indoors year-round, they don't go dormant. Consistent warmth, light, and moisture maintain growth.

For outdoor cultivation, consult a local nursery or Mediterranean gardening forum.
