💧 Care Guide

☀️ Light
Provide bright, filtered or indirect light. Colocasia can handle more light than many tropical houseplants, especially when gradually acclimated, but intense direct afternoon sun can scorch leaves.

Brighter light can also help support strong, vigorous growth.

💦 Watering
Unlike many houseplants, Colocasia generally enjoys staying consistently moist during active growth.

Water when the surface is just beginning to dry and don’t allow the plant to remain completely dry for extended periods. Always provide drainage, even though this plant enjoys plenty of moisture.

🌫️ Humidity
High humidity is appreciated, especially when growing indoors. Aim for 60%+ humidity, with higher humidity often producing better growth.

Good airflow is still important to prevent fungal and bacterial issues.

🌡️ Temperature
Warm temperatures are ideal. Keep your Mojito around 65–90°F and protect it from cold drafts.

Growth can slow dramatically when temperatures drop.

🪴 Potting Mix
Use a rich, moisture-retentive but well-draining mix. A combination of quality potting soil or coco coir with compost, orchid bark, and perlite/pumice can work well.

As the plant grows, gradually move it into larger containers as needed.

🌿 Fertilizing
Colocasias are vigorous growers and appreciate regular feeding during active growth. Use a balanced fertilizer at approximately ¼–½ strength every 2–3 weeks.

Reduce or stop feeding when growth slows significantly.

🌱 A Note About Variegation

Mojito is naturally variable. The amount and pattern of variegation can differ from leaf to leaf and from plant to plant. Some leaves may have more green while others develop much heavier minty or creamy markings.

Growing conditions can also influence how the plant develops.

💤 Seasonal Growth

Colocasia may slow down significantly when conditions become cooler or light levels decrease. This can sometimes result in yellowing or leaf loss.

Don’t panic! If the corm remains healthy, the plant can resume vigorous growth once warm temperatures, light, and moisture return.

📦 When Your Plant Arrives

Your young Colocasia has just traveled, so give it some time to adjust.

  • Carefully unpack your plant.
  • Check the moisture level of the growing medium.
  • Place it somewhere warm with bright, filtered light.
  • Maintain good humidity and airflow.
  • Keep the soil from completely drying out during active growth.
  • Allow the plant to acclimate before repotting or fertilizing heavily.

Some temporary drooping or cosmetic damage after shipping is possible and does not necessarily indicate a problem.
