The Full Picture

Alocasias grow from thick, tuberous corms under the soil. This makes them highly susceptible to root rot if overwatered, but it also gives them a superpower: if the plant loses all its leaves due to stress or cold, do not throw it away! Keep the soil slightly warm and barely moist, and new leaves will shoot back up from the corm in the spring.
