# Does anyone else feel such a big sense of success as a plant parent…

_Posted by Dani on 2026-02-05_

Does anyone else feel such a big sense of success as a plant parent (especially an Alocasia plant parent) when their plant puts out more leaves? I found this today and I’m feeling very happy and successful. I’m happy to know it’s thriving and gifting me new growth.

Can you help me with my Mickey Mouse I just got him shipped in from California. Shipping was amazing he came In wonderful. But how the heck do I acclimate him to my house. He opened up a new leaf right before he decided to throw a fit the next day..I’m still trying to figure out where to put him to make him happy he’s currently half way hiding under my monestera leafs I’m at work so I can’t get a picture of him

This is where I had him to take a picture of him but I put him a little further under my monestera and moved my begonia back to her normal spot after her sun time

How is it doing now? Alocasia LOVE throwing a fit after putting out a new leaf and being in the new environment probably isn’t helping. Do you have a humidifier that you are using for him too?
