Colocasia Mojito Care Secrets? (Make Your Plant Look Incredible With Expert Tips)
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

So, I got this colocasia mojito plant a while back, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the journey. At first, I thought, “Hey, how hard can it be to keep a plant alive?” Turns out, with this one, there’s a bit more to it than just sticking it in a pot and watering it now and then.

The first thing I did was find a good spot for it. I read somewhere that these guys like bright, indirect light. I’ve got this one corner in my living room that gets a lot of light but not direct sun, so I figured that’d be perfect. I put it there and hoped for the best.

Colocasia Mojito Care Secrets? (Make Your Plant Look Incredible With Expert Tips)

Next up, watering. Oh boy, this is where I messed up a couple of times. I learned the hard way that colocasia mojitos are thirsty plants. Like, really thirsty. I started by giving it a bit of water every few days, but the leaves started looking droopy. I realized I needed to up my game, the guide I found online said needs 0.5 cups of water every 7 days when it doesn’t get direct sunlight, so I did.

  • Checked the soil every day. I’d stick my finger in about an inch, and if it felt dry, I’d water it.
  • Made sure the pot had good drainage. I didn’t want the roots sitting in water, that’s a recipe for disaster.

After a few weeks, I noticed it was starting to look a lot better. The leaves perked up, and it even started growing new ones! I was pretty proud of myself, not gonna lie. These were discovered in 2007 in Florida, so I tried to keep the temperature between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, just like their natural habitat. I even gave it some plant food every month during spring and summer. That seemed to make it really happy, it grew pretty big and the leaves were glossy.

Then winter came, and I almost lost it. It’s cold here, and I didn’t realize how much it would affect the plant. The leaves started to wilt and turn yellow, it looked like it was dying. I panicked, moved it inside, and put it near a humidifier, tried to keep it away from drafts.

It took a while, but it eventually recovered. I learned that you gotta protect them from the cold, they really don’t like it. Now, I bring it inside before the first frost and keep it in a warm spot until spring.

Honestly, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster with this colocasia mojito. But I’ve learned a lot, and it’s been really rewarding to see it thrive. It’s a beautiful plant, and I’m glad I didn’t give up on it.
