{"product_id":"alocasia-wentii","title":"Alocasia Wentii","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlso known as New Guinea Shield or Dwarf Elephant Ears, Alocasia Wentii is an extremely handsome addition to your indoor plant garden or sheltered tropical garden. Showing off dark green glossy leaves with metalic purple undersides, this beauty will be a showstopper wherever it is planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA super exotic looking foliage plant, Alocasia loves a warm humid environment. Grows best in a sheltered draught free position in bright indirect light and regular watering is required whilst the plant is actively growing. Water once the soil becomes dry and do not do not let the plant become waterlogged as this will cause fungal issues and most likely death. For best results fertilise regularly with a slow release fertiliser and repot every few years using a good quality potting mix for indoor plants. In warmer climates, these gorgeous plants will brighten up a sheltered shady position outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlocasia are a little bit more tricky than many other indoor plants; they tend to have a dormant period during the cooler months, and this can be a little discerning for many new growers as it is often unclear how to look after them whilst dormant. Simply keep plants a little drier when they are dormant, but ensure the soil or potting mix does not dry completely as this will cause the rhizomes to dry and die off completely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53828256366776,"sku":"P10ALOWEN","price":16.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/alocasia-p10alowen-wentii-1p10alowen.jpg?v=1785380815","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/alocasia-wentii","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
