What is wrong with my Alocasia Baginda?

I recently put my Alocasia Baginda into a hydroponic pot with leca, i’m not sure as to whether the curling on the leaves is due to shock as a result of this or something else?

probably shock. give her a good month and see if anything improves. if it gets worse, check for pests, root rot, or try fertilizing to prevent nutrient deficiency

i’m just using miracle grow in the reservoir i’m unsure the exact nutrient needs but figured that would probably cover it, i think it should bounce back given time thank-you for the reply ❤️

alocasia have high calcium needs. though, i wouldn't worry about it, it just seems to be shock

My silver dragon did the same thing when I repotted it. Took a few weeks for the leaves to unfurl but it eventually adjusted
