# Ok so I keep getting conflicting info when I look up symptoms for…

Ok so I keep getting conflicting info when I look up symptoms for curling leaves. In your experience does this look like over watering ….under? I recently tried to convert to pon which is when this started. I checked the roots they are good . I have it in a shallow bit of water until I can figure out what to do .

I would recommend letting it fully dry out and see how it responds. Alocasias are tricky. I let mine fully dry out in between watering, like fully. The top and at least a half inch down should be completely dry before watering again. Also they LOVE humidity. So having a humidifier no matter where you live is ideal and they love 67-73°f year round. Partial sun, 4-6 hrs of direct sunlight a day. Hope this helps! What a beauty! 💚

How are the humidity levels?

It’s always at least 50% which has been tough with the heater running . I have a humidifier for it .
