Alocasia wentii is a artificial crossbreed between Alocasia odora and Alocasia gageana from South-East Asia. The common name for the plant is 'Hardy elephant ear' and it is indeed rather hardy. Below 7 degrees Celsius the plant will go into a state of slumber and lose its leaves. After winter the plant comes back to life. The plant can reach up to 1-1,5 meter high. Like most Alocasias the plant has a so-called 'Drip tip' along which rainwater drips away neatly.
Alocasia wentii is suitable for in the house or outdoors. Pick a bright spot out of direct sunlight. Keep its soil moist. Don'T let the soil dry out, regularly water it a little 'Preferably with low calcium lukewarm water'. Spray the leaf often to compensate for dry house air. Dry air or direct sunlight can make the leaves discolor. Cut those away; the plant will form new leaves on its own. In the growing season from April till September you can give the plant some extra nutrition once every month. Watch out to not overwater young plants; this can rot their roots.
