Hi All I’m looking for advice on how to properly care for an Alocasia Jaclyn. I think I I got myself in too deep as a beginner lol. I got her a couple months ago repotted her and placed her a foot or more under grow lights. I ended up scorching the tips of her leaves and killing the youngest leaf that had just come in. I am so sad. Since then she seems stable but not doing much of anything. How can I get her to be happier?
She’s a beauty! I think you’ll be fine. African mask was my “first” plant (that got me into plants) and mine is still going although I have killed the mother entirely. Just make sure it gets light and is allowed to dry between watering

I have my Alocasias between 200-300 FC of light, and that seemed to be the key for me. (My rescue/recovering Alocasias receive 450 FC, but they’re still in corm-form).
