Environment

Alacosia likes a bright position, but keep out of direct sunlight. It's a tropical plant and needs reasonable, or high humidity.

Compost must be kept moist at all times (not dry or soggy). Dislikes dryness at the roots, but too much water will cause the roots to rot. Water little but often.

Feed during the growing season about once per month.
