_Posted by James on 2025-11-26_

A week ago from today, I tried switching my alocacia nebula to pon, and about a day later the leaves curled up and haven’t uncurled at all since. It had been doing well in a aeroid mix but I was talked into transitioning to pon, because of its convenient infrequent watering. Its always had its leaves begin to curl when the soil got too dry, and has been pretty dramatic regarding moisture in the past. In the past couple days all the leaves have started yellowing. Non of the roots should he waterlogged and it seems moisture is reaching the top level. Is it just still adjusting? Or any advice that can help it recover?
