# My Alocasia Jacklyn did not enjoy the transition to winter this year…

_Posted by Cherrybergher on 2023-12-20_

My Alocasia Jacklyn did not enjoy the transition to winter this year and lost one leaf after another so I decided to repot it into a hydroponic no drainage pot and it has bounced back very nicely. This is going to be a spectacular giant leaf.

How did you go to pon? Just cleaned roots super good and plopped it in? I’m so scared to do that lol

Yep that is exactly what I did. I was scared to do it but it turned out great! A new giant healthy leaf.

That is so beautiful but let me ask you…. Where do you add the water to? And also how do you add the nutrients. I have been thinking about going over lol just so scared

#### Cherrybergher replied on 2024-01-09

I water with distilled water from the top. I add the nutrients to the distilled water first and then pour over top. Only takes about 1/4 cup of water when I do it. I can see by tipping the container how much water is sitting at the bottom and if it truly needs water because of the clear container.
