I am so beyond excited that I found this beauty at home depot. I was about to leave and she caught my eye

Check in the app. It has helped me with some of my plants! She might be adjusting to a new environment ❤️🙏🏻

Ooo nice find! Good luck! Also droopiness is pretty normal, at least in my experience, with alocasias as they tend to be pretty dramatic and hate change. Just leave it be in a good area to acclimate. I have a variegated frydek that did the same thing and proceeded to yellow and lose all its leaves before slowly coming back 🫡

Okay so what Im hearing is be hopeful and leave her alone 😂 I can do that

Pretty much lol, from what little i know, they do prefer not to completely dry out and can be very hungry little guys, so usually giving them water soluble fertlizer with each watering has helped. But they dont like being water logged, so i use a chunky soil mix for them 👍
