# This is the first alocasia I’ve ever had!! This is the newest leaf…

_Posted by Liv on 2023-08-31_

This is the first alocasia I’ve ever had!! This is the newest leaf that it was already pushing when I bought it, does the leaf seem a bit yellow?? I saw something about banana peels helping for the phosphorus levels, but am not sure if this is how they just look!

Also it is so droopy! I am mainly a pothos girl and this plant is stumping me. Any suggestions or info is appreciated :))

Zebrina is my favorite plant! Idk about the banana peel. Just give it nutrients, mine is a heavy feeder and I’ve been giving it a good amount every watering this summer

Thank you! I’ll try some fertilizer and more water!

They need a lot of light.
