An east window, or close to a south or west window with a sheer curtain between the plant and the glass.

Alocasia dislikes sitting in a saucer of water, and cold water on a cold windowsill will stall it. Humidity is the other half of the job: dry indoor air causes brown crisping along the leaf edges, so a pebble tray, a humidifier or a cluster of plants makes a visible difference through the heating season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDormancy, and why yours might look dead\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Alocasia that drops leaves in late fall is usually not dying. The genus goes dormant when light and warmth drop, retreating to its corm underground. Cut back on water sharply, stop fertilizing, keep the pot somewhere warm and out of drafts, and wait. New growth typically pushes in spring. Repot in spring rather than in fall, and only when roots are circling the pot, since Alocasia flowers and grows better slightly crowded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMore Indoor Plants\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/collections\/indoor-ferns\" title=\"Browse Indoor Ferns at Nature Hills\"\u003eIndoor Ferns\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/collections\/pothos\" title=\"Browse Pothos at Nature Hills\"\u003ePothos\u003c\/a\u003e, or the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/collections\/houseplants\" title=\"Browse Houseplants collection at Nature Hills\"\u003eHouseplants collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"alocasia-amazonica-bambino","title":"Alocasia Amazonica 'Bambino' Elephant Ear","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlocasia Amazonica 'Bambino' is the dwarf form of the African Mask plant everyone recognizes, a cultivar of the hybrid Alocasia x mortfontanensis bred from Alocasia longiloba and Alocasia sanderi.
