Alocasia Melo

Light:
Alocasia Melo prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves.

Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Be careful not to overwater, as the plant is sensitive to root rot.

Humidity: This plant thrives in high humidity, so maintain levels of at least 60%. Consider using a humidifier or placing it on a humidity tray.

Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 18-27°C (65-80°F). Protect from cold drafts, as Alocasia Melo is not frost-tolerant.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage growth.

Toxicity
Alocasia Melo is toxic to pets and humans if ingested.

Return and refund policy.

Once your parcel is delivered, we recommend opening it right away. Should any unexpected issues arise, please report them immediately to info@rebelplants.co.uk
Because plants are perishable and delicate, we do not accept returns except in cases of damage. Since every plant is unique and growth is seasonal, the plant you receive may differ slightly from the one pictured on our website.

We do accept returns on plant pots, accessories, vases, dried flowers, and plant prints. These items must be returned undamaged within 14 days of delivery. Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs and packaging. Once we receive the item in unused and undamaged condition, we will process your refund, excluding the original and return shipping costs.

If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value. Additionally, if your return brings your order total below the free shipping threshold, the standard shipping cost for your original purchase will be deducted from your refund.

For any return questions, please reach out to us at info@rebelplants.co.uk

Pre-Order & Custom Orders Policy: Pre-order and custom-made items are non-returnable and non-refundable. These products are manufactured or supplied specifically to your specifications upon order placement

Damages and Issues
Please inspect your order upon arrival and contact us immediately if your item is defective, damaged, or incorrect. Claims for returns or refunds must be made within 7 days of receipt, and digital photos of the damaged item, box, and labels are required. We may request the item back to process your claim.

Exceptions / Non-Returnable Items
We cannot accept returns for perishable goods (such as plants or flowers) or custom products. Please reach out if you have questions about your specific item. We also do not accept returns on sale items or gift cards.

Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return. If approved, the refund will be processed to your original payment method. Please note that it may take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund.
