Ideal Temperatures for Alocasias: Mastering Alocasia Temperature Tolerance.
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with my Alocasia plants lately, trying to figure out how cold they can actually get before they start throwing a fit. I love these plants, but I’m always worried about killing them with the temperature swings in my house.

First, I gathered all my Alocasias in one place. I have a few different varieties – a big ‘Regal Shields’, a smaller ‘Polly’, and a couple of baby ones I’m propagating. I wanted to see if they all reacted the same way.

My Experiment Setup

  • Moved them to my sunroom. It’s the room that gets the most temperature fluctuations, especially at night.
  • Set up a digital thermometer right in the middle of the plants to keep track of the temperature.
  • Started a simple journal to note down the temperature and how the plants looked each day. Very scientific, I know.

I started by letting the temperature drop gradually. During the day, the sunroom stays pretty warm, around 75°F (24°C). But at night, I turned off the heater in that room to let it cool down. I watched the thermometer like a hawk!

For the first few nights, I only let it get down to about 65°F (18°C). The Alocasias didn’t seem to mind at all. They looked perky and happy. I made notes in my journal: “65°F – No visible changes. All plants look good.”

Then, I got a little bolder. I let the temperature drop to around 60°F (15°C) for a couple of nights. The ‘Polly’ started to look a little droopy, but the ‘Regal Shields’ was still holding strong. My journal entry: “60°F – ‘Polly’ slightly drooping. ‘Regal Shields’ still okay. Babies seem fine.”

I pushed it even further, one night letting it get down to 55°F (13°C). That was a mistake! The next morning, the ‘Polly’ looked really sad, with its leaves curling down. The ‘Regal Shields’ was starting to droop too, and even one of the baby plants had a yellowing leaf. My journal entry: “55°F – Uh oh! ‘Polly’ very droopy, leaves curling. ‘Regal Shields’ drooping. One baby with yellow leaf. Too cold!”

I quickly moved them all back to a warmer room and turned on the humidifier. I learned my lesson – 55°F is definitely too cold for my Alocasias, especially the ‘Polly’.

So, from my little experiment, I’d say that Alocasias can tolerate temperatures down to around 60°F, but they really prefer it to be warmer. Anything below that, and you’re risking some unhappy plants. Keep them cozy, folks!
