# hello my planty friends 🌱 started my alocasia collection not too…

_Posted by angelina🌱 on 2023-09-07_

hello my planty friends 🌱  
started my alocasia collection not too long ago \& am still trying to learn more about them. my dragon scale \& frydek cannot hold onto their leaves for the life of them!! they still do maintain bigger foliage with new leaves, however it seems they can’t hold onto more than 2 at a time. why could this be? how do i get my alocasia’s to stop dropping leaves? please help me out!! thank you guys :)

Could be not enough fertilizer or light

An Alocasia will only keep as many leaves as the amount of light supports. Less light means less leaves. More light it puts out more leaves.
