Most Alocasias are plants of the moist, humid understory of jungles, so my
bet would be FAR away from the beach and salt-spray, planted in a
well-drained, always moist soil mix, and shaded/bright light, no strong
winds.

in
full sun or would it be better in the shade inland?
I'm in Los Angeles and the beach area would be Venice or the inland would be
W. Hollywood.<<
