# The baby plant is looking like that and I don’t know why. There is…

The baby plant is looking like that and I don’t know why. There is not much humidity in my room and I suspect why the tip of the baby leaf was dry. So I thought “Gee let me squirt some water on the Q-Tip and put some water on it” 🙄🙄😒😓 Fast forward, while I’ve put it under a grow light in hope to further stimulate growth to this baby plant, for some reason its looking the way it looks in the following picture (left; right is how it looked like originally). What does that mean??? Does it mean it’s dying?😭😭😭 I don’t only want my plant have two leaves! I never knew alocasia was SUCH a tough indoor plant (next to calathea😒😑)

Have you tried a pebble try under it? Just a drip tray with perlite or little stones and then fill halfway with water. That can help with humidity

I haven’t yet but I’ll try.

Hi, Ezi! My baby Alocasia’s best friend is humidity. Very easy fix by placing a dome of sorts (clear, take out plastic containers also work!) and keep their medium moist.

I will try that!
