Hi everyone ! I’m new Alocasia care! I just bought this one.. the stems are so droopy, I’m trying to keep them up with a moss stick and a tie. Do they get stronger ? Or anything I can do to help it ?

These guys are tricky but oh so rewarding! I have two of them and love their velvety leaves. Here’s what works for me. I water mine about every 6 to 9 days depending on how dry the soil is. I keep mine in places where there isn’t a lot of wind. I also cut off any stocks that look, yellow or bent. I also use a plexiglass stalk-holder if some of the stalks look like they need support. Don’t get discouraged. The plant in the black pot was nearly dead a few months ago because I overwatered it and had it in a windy area. Some TLC brought her back and then some!

They can be a little tough to figure out. The stems that have fully flopped won’t come back. You can use a bamboo stick or other stake and tie them as the plant is acclimating. Alocasia can be PEST magnets, so I shower mine monthly. They thrive in hydro set ups. All of mine live in it now. Just got a HUGE leaf out of my Jacklyn 😍
