Hi, I just got my first Colocasia Mojito today. The leaves look a little droopy, but overall the plant seems healthy. It was too big for its pot, and the weight was causing the stem to bend, which even pushed some roots out of the soil. I decided to repot it, though I’m not sure if that might stress the plant further. Any advice would be greatly appreciated—thank you!

Repotting can cause stress. It could be shallow roots helping it to topple over in addition to the weight. A repot might help more than hurt at this stage. Try bamboo sticks or a trellis to help anchor the plant. 🪴🍀
