This is my first alocasia, and that little leaf spike has been the same size for the last 3 months lol. Is that normal? Are they usually super slow growers? Is there anything I can do to nudge it along?

    How long have you had it? If it hasn’t been very long, it might still be getting established in the new environment rather than focusing on new growth

      I’ve had that one for about 4 months. It was 2 plants in one pot. About 3 months ago, I split it apart and repotted them separately in clear nursery pots so I could monitor the moisture level (I heard they are prone to root rot?) I do see some new root growth in there so maybe it’s focusing on that first?

      Yeah that could definitely be it. I feel like mine does nothing for a few months and then randomly puts out 2-3 new leaves lol

    I have had an alocasia before, and boy was it one of my pickiest plants! It LOVES humidity, so I recommend a humidifier or putting it in the bathroom while you shower

    I put a humidifier in the room with it, but why didn’t I think to take a shower with it haha!! That’s such a good idea
