# My Alocasia Odora “Batik” is growing!!! She’s made me so nervous…

_Posted by Gray on 2024-10-03_

My Alocasia Odora “Batik” is growing!!! She’s made me so nervous because she was shipped to me in Maryland from Louisiana and thus had a rough start losing about 3 smaller leaves.

One leaf is yellowing now but she’s growing three others!! I’m so proud of her and ANY tips to get her to keep growing and getting stronger are super welcomed! I’ve never raised Alocasias through the fall/winter before.

PS- the Planta app says she’s getting too much light, but I don’t think so. The light hitting her in these photos is about as bright as it gets this season, and this is at 4:45pm in early October. But if you have thoughts about that too let me know!
