hey everyone! ive had my alocasia polly for about 2 months now (got her when she was about 7 months old i think) but she’s stalled a bit. she recently lost 2 (of 4) leaves and hasnt grown any new ones… the center (pictured) has been growing very slowly but it doesnt really resemble a normal leaf. does anyone know what’s going on?

for reference, i got my alocasia frydek at the same time and it’s put out 2 new leaves (and another emerging) thus far.

My Polly is a slow grower too. But it just pushed a new leaf after 3 months of nothing... it was def worth the wait. It doubled the size of the largest leaf I had.
