My first alocasia!! I’m sooo excited to watch her grow! Any tips and/or advice is welcomed. She’s been sitting outside at kroger for a few weeks now. I think i may leave it outside until the weather changes (tell me if thats a bad idea 🤭). I live in Arkansas so it wont cool down until about early late October - early November.
I got the same plant in the same pot, and ended up losing two leaves. The white cover pot is so tight to the black nursery pot that it basically creates a no-drainage scenario. It would guttate like CRAZY if I gave it even a small watering! I’ve removed it from the white pot and placed it on a saucer for now.

If that’s a batwing allocation, mine is not doing well at all! I got mine at Lowe’s about three weeks ago. But congratulations! I think Alocasia a are my favorite plants.
