The 'Batik' cultivar produces small offsets, or "pups," which can be propagated to share with fellow plant enthusiasts or left to mature alongside the mother plant​
 
It’s normal for some leaves to drop during transit, but with the right light and humidity, new foliage will emerge quickly. Additionally, like many Alocasias, 'Batik' may enter dormancy after producing several leaves, so it’s important not to discard the plant during this period, as it will regrow in the next season​.
​
 
Potting and Maintenance Tips: Allow the plant to acclimate before repotting, as it can thrive in its nursery pot for up to a year unless it becomes root-bound​. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, and provide humidity levels of 60-80% to prevent dormancy due to cold exposure​.
 
Maintaining a healthy environment through consistent watering, humidity, and occasional fertilization (especially from summer to fall) will help keep your 'Batik' thriving throughout the seasons​.
