Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch.

Reduce watering frequency slightly during cooler months, but never let the soil dry out completely, as Alocasia scalprum prefers high humidity and consistent moisture.

Prune away any yellowing, brown, or damaged leaves promptly to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.

Minimal pruning is typically needed, as the plant naturally grows upright, but removing old leaves encourages new growth.

Propagate Alocasia scalprum through division of rhizomes. When repotting, carefully separate healthy sections of the rhizome, ensuring each piece has at least one growth bud and some roots.

Plant these divisions in well-draining potting mix and maintain high humidity.

Repot your Samar Lance every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring, just as new growth begins to emerge.
