I purchased this plant at a home depot it is very showy and beautiful, however there were no care instructions withit. Can anyone help me?

Jane, I must ask, why did you buy a plant without insisting on the care instructions? It is a reasonable requestto make in the shop, but until we start fussing at the stores (and on up the line to wholesalers, growers etc.), they will keep on with these shoddy practices. Please boycott these sloppy stores and let them know why - the information IS available to them.
Now, what to do; these alocasias like strong light (short of direct sun, and will thrive with the usual wtaer well then dry a litle routine. They have very low fertilizer needs, so be sparing. It is a nice eplant, isn't it. I hope it does well for you. Derek

My leaves also turned and then died. I thought it was dead. It had been outside with the rest of my houseplants. Then a couple of months later it started to sprout new leaves. Aperantly it has a resting peroid like the amerilla.It is beautiful at the moment and has even sprouted a new leaf at the bottom pf the pot seperate from the rest of the plant.

Never had this happen to mine, but evey year around this time my leaves turn brown and die off. Later on it grows abain. I threw one out I did not know that it would come back.
