hi guys! this is my very first post ever on this site i recently bought an alocasia frydek because they’re soooo pretty and i was ready to take on a more challenging plant. so far its somewhat okay, ive had lots of new growth and only had to cut off one yellowing leaf when i repotted. what im finding now though is that its leaning pretty far. the stems don’t feel floppy or mushy, none of the leaves are yellowing and theres even a new leaf unfurling. the soil mix is regular potting soil, perlite, and peat. i dont currently have orchid bark so maybe the soil is too moist? I was also thinking it may need a moss pole or trellace but i didnt know if that was normal for alocasias. any tips and tricks are very appreciated!! thank you 🩷

    I recommend getting the app it is better and more convenient than the website.

    I would recommend rotating your plant, it’s probably leaning towards the light source

    It looks like it's leaning towards the light. You don't want to use a moss pole, but you can use a stake system or trellis with clips. Rotating them helps, but it kinda turns into a never ending leaning game. They grow more upright if the light source is above them.
