hey all! i swear my polly mom hates me. so she’s produced corms and I’ve sprouted them perfectly. mom on the other hand feels like she’s losing the will to live. she used to be much fuller but over the past two months she let go of 4 leaves. when i first got her she had two flowers (which i cut off because i was very new at being a plant parent but now i realized i should’ve just left them) and that made her drop two leaves. i left for a long weekend in june and she got upset and said good bye to two more leaves. nooooow she’s upset again and is letting go of two more leaves. do you think these leaves are going because two new flowers are emerging or she hates me cause i stole her babies and they’re doing amazing without her? i’m joking about plant baby-napping. i water her when the top two inches are dry and I’ve checked her roots and they look fine. it does take her about two weeks for the top two inches to dry so maybe she’s not draining fast enough? any advice is greatly appreciated. i don’t wanna give up on mamacita!

    Alocasia can do dormant, it may be worth researching this and the conditions the plant sometimes needs to avoid it.

      After having something similar happen to me, I split two rhizomes and placed one into Pon and one into Leca. The one is Leca is doing the best

    I would think by just looks it’s over or under watering… may check the roots
