Light: Alocasia 'Chocolate' prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant leaf color. Avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. If your plant's leaves begin to look dull or the plant becomes leggy, it may be receiving too little light. The Alocasia 'Chocolate' is a hybrid Alocasia variety known for its striking dark foliage, which gives the plant its 'chocolate' moniker. Like other Alocasias, it has arrowhead or heart-shaped leaves, but its distinctive coloring sets it apart. The plant is native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia and is often grown for its ornamental foliage.Pests and Diseases: Watch for common houseplant pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. If you notice any signs of pests or disease, treat the plant promptly using an insecticidal soap or a neem oil solution.

After World War II, the Cote d’Or brand was reinstated and the creations continued, including the chocolate spread Pastador in 1952.

Temperature: Alocasia 'Chocolate' thrives in temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). They are not cold hardy and temperatures below 60°F (15°C) can damage the plant. Avoid exposing the plant to sudden temperature changes or drafts. In 2000, the parent group took the name of Kraft Foods and Mondelēz international in 2012 after a split of Kraft Foods. In 1987, Nestlé and Jacobs Suchard launched a hostile takeover bid for Cote d’Or, having the effect of a bomb on the financial center in Brussels, unaccustomed to aggressive takeovers. But the families who controlled the company were aware that they needed to grow, with new means that existing shareholders could not provide sufficiently.The combination of both chocolate and machinery requirements led in 1906 to the creation of the company Alimenta S.A. Fertilizer: Fertilize your Alocasia 'Chocolate' about once a month during the growing season (spring through summer) using a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Always water your plant before fertilizing to prevent root burn, and reduce or cease fertilizing during the winter months when growth naturally slows. Water: Water your Alocasia 'Chocolate' when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, a common issue with Alocasias. When you water, do so thoroughly, allowing water to drain out of the bottom of the pot. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

Remember, each plant is unique and may require slightly different care. Always observe your plant and adjust care as necessary. Happy growing! Humidity: Alocasias generally appreciate higher humidity levels due to their tropical origin. If your home is dry, especially in the winter, you might need to provide extra humidity for this plant. Increase humidity levels by misting the plant, placing it on a pebble tray filled with water, or using a humidifier.

The IPO marks the end of exclusively family control of the company, although Bieswal, Leclef and Michiels families retained the majority. Charles Neuhaus sold Côte d’Or in 1889 to the Buiswal-Leclef family, who merged with the Michiels chocolate company in 1906 to create Alimenta S.A.
