Alocasia 海芋/觀音蓮/姑婆芋屬
海芋/觀音蓮/姑婆芋屬日常養護
海芋屬以箭型葉/心型葉以及多變的葉面而受注目。原生於森林中較為接近地面的位置，一旦環境光照不足，本能上亦會將葉柄長得更長以爭取更多光照（俗稱徒長）。因此，如果希望維持較矮的株型，充足散射光照十分重要。一般而言，開揚的窗邊已經足夠姑婆芋生長，於香港種植，絕大部份時間空氣濕度不成問題。
日常養護摘要
光照：生長於明亮散射光下最易照顧。室內輔以植物燈或有遮蔽室外皆可。
淋水：室內-全乾全濕 室外-全乾全濕，注意泥太乾易曬燶葉。休眠時停水
施肥：春夏秋三季施肥，春秋季份量按指示減半。冬季/休眠期停肥。
繁殖：人工授粉後結果而得種子/待盆土內子球成熟發芽/母株側芽分株

雖然光猛啲佢會生得快啲，佢亦都唔會因為環境太光猛而有問題。不過我哋經驗係比較暗嘅環境可以令到葉面唔同顏色嘅對比更加強烈，咁迷彩嘅效果會好睇啲。我意思唔係佢唔需要光，佢要光，去到一個近乎無光嘅環境係絕對有返祖嘅機會。簡單蒞講，如果有一日發覺幾塊葉都好似淡色左，不仿幫佢轉個暗少少嘅位置。 Brighter environment would definitely facilitate its growth, and Aglaonema pictum doesn't usually encounter with very bright indoor. But if you wish to have vivid camouflage leaf, you may consider to keep it away from brighter area, but not a closet without light or it would easily revert. If someday you find your Aglaonema pictum looks pale, try a dimmer place. 空氣濕度唔夠係會令葉邊曲左，不過 Leaf may gets curvy sometimes when air is too dry, but this quite rarely gives burning leaf edge. I'd say it's okay not to worry about air humidity if you are growing an Aglaonema pictum in Hong Kong. 介質者，眾人所曰泥也。(唔係扮唔扮專業嘅問題，只係’介質‘真係比起‘泥’精准，因為除咗’泥’之外，仲有好多好好用嘅種植介質。) 適合嘅介質係成功嘅一大半，但係點先算係適合，其實唔止係睇植物，仲要睇照顧植物嘅人。無錯極致疏水嘅介質的確唔易爛根，但係相對淋水同施肥都密左。所以喺考慮介質組合嘅時候，記得要考慮埋自己，咁先更加可以享受到種嘢嘅樂趣。 Potting mix is what we meant soil, just a more precise description ingredient extends beyond soil. Anyway, potting with the right mix makes your planting life much easier. When we come to deciding the right mix, make sure you put yourself into the equation, find the potting mix that keep your roots from rotting yet keep yourself from providing full-time care. That's how I have an enjoyable journey to plants.
Alocasia 海芋屬
芋頭也瘋狂
Nothing stands unchanged, that's the only rule that stands
Plant grows, with different paces, affected by species, plant health, various environmental factors and more. It would be great to acknowledge extra spaces that's needed when your plant is grown. If you have really limited spaces, Aglaonema pictum is an option you should not omit. Not only it grows slowly and vertically, its dark forest green, lime and grey-white variegation brings a stunning camouflage leaf. What's more, Aglaonema pictum is probably one of the easiest indoor plant in terms of its low maintenance and ability to thrive under varying environmental condition.
想種好海芋 需要有充足光照，見乾見濕淋水
To grow healthy Alocasia, they need adequate light, and watering should be done when the soil is dry.
忍手唔好成日淋水、忍手唔好落(重)肥、忍手唔好俾太多光、忍手唔好噴葉、忍手唔好幫佢加到太濕、忍手唔好太早分株。
Constraint yourself from watering too frequently, from heavy fertilizing, from providing too much moist and from providing too much brightness to facilitate its growth. Weird isn't it?

相對濕度 Relative humidity
我個人覺得迷彩炒魷魚炒得幾靚，其實炒魷魚都唔太影響佢生長，加上迷彩好少會燶邊，我就覺得相比起花燭其實唔一定要特登加濕，反正香港大部分時間都已經幾夠濕。
