20 - 25cm Variegated Xanthosoma Mickey Mouse Alocasia 17cm Pot House Plant

Variegated Xanthosoma Mickey Mouse, also known as Variegated Elephant Ear, is a striking houseplant with heart-shaped leaves that are variegated with white and green. Here are some care tips for this plant:

1. Light: Variegated Xanthosoma Mickey Mouse prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions, but avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Water: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Water thoroughly, and allow any excess water to drain out of the bottom of the pot. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure the soil has good drainage.

3. Humidity: Variegated Xanthosoma Mickey Mouse likes moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves with water, using a humidifier, or placing a tray of water near the plant.

4. Temperature: The ideal temperature range for this plant is between 65-80°F (18-27°C).

5. Soil: Variegated Xanthosoma Mickey Mouse prefers a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.

6. Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

7. Pruning: Prune the plant to maintain its shape and remove any dead or yellowing leaves.

8. Support: Variegated Xanthosoma Mickey Mouse can grow quite tall and become top-heavy, so it may need support in the form of a stake or trellis.

9. Propagation: Variegated Xanthosoma Mickey Mouse can be propagated by dividing the rhizomes. Carefully separate the plant into two or more sections, making sure each section has roots and leaves, and plant them in separate pots.

Remember to keep your plant away from pets and children as it's toxic when ingested. Variegated Xanthosoma Mickey Mouse is a relatively low-maintenance plant that can add a tropical touch to your indoor garden.
