# How big do these guys normally get? The longest stem is about 26”…

_Posted by Fyreflie1980 on 2025-07-12_

How big do these guys normally get? The longest stem is about 26” long and they just keep growing! Do they ever need a support stick? Does it need to be re-potted? I don’t want to mess anything up, when I bought it, it was 1/3 this size (early May) and the largest leaf was less than 1/3 the size (now bigger than my hand).

Wow that's a happy zebrina. 😍 alocasias tend to like a tight fit in their pot, but you could probably size up. They shouldn't need supports, but outer leaves may drop outwards as it gets bigger
