    • Colocasia 'White Lava' Care Instructions

      Light:
      Bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays.

      Water:
      Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Loves humidity.

      Soil:
      Use rich, well-draining soil with organic matter. A mix of potting soil, compost, and perlite works well.

      Temperature:
      Thrives in warm temperatures (18–30°C / 65–85°F). Protect from frost.

      Feeding:
      Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn).

      Repotting & Pruning:
      Repot yearly if needed. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves.

      Winter Care:
      If grown outdoors in a cool climate, dig up and store tubers in a cool, dry place. Indoors, reduce watering and let it rest.
