About
The 'Serpent's Tail' is a native plant from Papua New Guinea. An Aroid with large fenestrated leaves reminding of a fish bone.
A real statement plant for your home.
Care
Light: A bright room, but indirect sunlight. Brighter light will earn you larger leaves.
Water: Alocasias hate wet feet, but they hate to dry out, too -- you'll see the stalks droop if it gets too thirsty. Give it a relatively small amount of water every few days, perhaps a cup, as soon as the top inch of compost feels dry, and then let drain.
Humidity: Likes a moist environment - a bathroom is ideal, otherwise misting often will be just as good.
Temperature: This plant hates a draft, and needs to be kept warm at all times -- never let it be in a room below 10C.
