Happ,

I have a Portodora, like yours, that I take care of for a client, it does best in shade with daily waterings (here in Tampa). It gets a lot of wind and we lost the first leaves to shredding, it is doing fine now. All the big potted plants I take care of get time release fertilizer.

I believe this alocasia in an evergreen, you might want to reconsider winter dormancy. I am not an expert on this group of bulbs, others may have different opinions.
