# I’m getting a new leaf! Looks like it’ll be small. Will it be darker…

_Posted by Daisy on 2026-01-25_

I’m getting a new leaf! Looks like it’ll be small. Will it be darker than the rest of the leaves!? This plant has been treated that’s why the leaves are a much lighter color than the green Alocasia! What can I do to help benefit this little guy!?

It will be a similar size and colour. Just be patient and she will emerge victorious!
