|---|---|
| CO₂ | Medium to high humidity (pebble tray, grouping, humidifier); no figure in sources |
| 水温 | ≥ 15°C |
| 造景位置 | NOT for typical terrariums – too large ('Polly' is roughly 10–60 cm) and rot-prone in a sealed jar. Possible only in a large, ventilated vivarium or paludarium. Small "jewel" alocasias are the better terrarium pick. (Sources do not cover terrariums directly; this is based on size and rot risk.) |
