I love the Alocasia Nigra because I stored it in the backroom last winter with the dormant plumerias and brugs with no special care other than enough water to keep it from drying out and it grew lush and made pups. I had this beautiful plant in there with all the dormant plants which made it look nicer that`s for sure! I recommend that one for a houseplant near a window with some filtered sunlight coming through the window.
