During the growing season, jewel alocasia requires plenty of water. For outdoor plants, adjust your watering schedule based on the weather conditions. For potted plants, it's best to mist them daily and water them when the soil surface starts to feel slightly dry. In winter, reduce watering to once a week to prevent root rot.
