# So I decided to do a little terrarium experiment. This is my first…

_Posted by HelloKitty0629 on 2024-08-15_

So I decided to do a little terrarium experiment. This is my first alocasia and I knew they require high humidity. So I decided to take a corm and grow it out of a water bottle I reshaped… I used horticultural sentiment as the base. It has been growing very well it’s just I keep having the same problem over and over again. It will grow either one or two perfect leaves then one has to turn yellow before a new one sprouts. What you see in the picture below is one of the new leaves. And the tip of the old leaf yellowing. All advice would be appreciated!! (I plan to eventually get a self watering pot and re-pot it in pon in the future.)
