**Care Tips:**
**Light:** The Alocasia Sanderiana Bulls Aurea thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
**Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
**Humidity:** This tropical plant loves humidity. Maintain a humid environment by misting the leaves regularly or placing the plant on a humidity tray. A humidifier can also be beneficial, especially in drier climates.
**Temperature:** Keep the temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant.
**Soil:** Use a well-draining, aroid mix soil that retains moisture but allows excess water to escape. A mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark works well.
**Feeding:** Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months.
**Repotting:** Repot every 1-2 years in spring, or when the plant outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger with adequate drainage.
**Pests:** Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Embrace the allure of this rare Alocasia and elevate your plant collection with the Sanderiana Bulls Aurea – a true testament to nature's artistry.
