_Posted by Planta member on 2025-06-10_

I bought my first Alocasia Sarian about 4 weeks ago and she’s having a lot of new growth. But after doing more research I noticed that her leaves seem to be very small. Any advice on how to help her grow bigger leaves. She is in a 4 inch pot right now about 3 ft from my east facing window.

The leaves could be small because the plant is young and still growing.

It could also need more light. 🪴🍀

good to know she is still a baby and has lots of growing to do! I’ll make sure to put her closer to the window! Thank you for the helpful info
