My loco alocasia was not growing the two months I had her. Leaves are yellowing and dry with no new leaves. Found the roots wrapped with the web of death! My new baby suffered. 😩

Ugh I hate that! Hopefully she will recover

Thank you. It’s one in a set of small alocasias I bought. The others look great. I haven’t bought an alocasia in years. I was planning to check the roots and repot to see if would help when I found the tightly bounded roots. They should slap a caution warning on plants with the webbing!🪴⚠️

Nooooo 😭 That’s what killed my alocasia flying squid! Just when I think I can trust a certain plant store….

Flying squid is a wishlist plant of mine. They are not cheap. I would cry if it died!😭
