Gina1960 said: I've actually never known anyone you grows the larger growing alocasias indoors as houseplants. They like humidity which houses can't adequately provide (even with a humidifier) they like 8 or more hours of sun, they like a lot of water but can't use it inside and they are heavy feeders.
Vendors on the internet say a lot of things. They say them because they want to sell you plants. So they will tell you a plant does well indoors, even if it's not always true, or not true for most people's conditions.

Most of the alocasias that folks attempt to grow as houseplants are ones like Poly, or the jewel alocasias. Small growing plants.
