Hi there, I repotted my dragon scale to an aroid mix after over a year of being in typical potting soil. I also noticed that it started to get brown spots. Now that it’s in a new mix, it looks like it’s not liking it. Not sure what to do next? Help please

When did you repot it? Alocasia’s can be finicky and go into shock easily. If you repotted it very recently I wouldn’t worry too much, it’s normal. It should eventually bounce back!

I repotted about a week ago! Maybe I’ll just continue to check on it, but they all drooped so quickly 😳

I know it’s scary! I love Alocasia’s but they are very dramatic 😂 I transferred my regal shield to pon from a dense soil mix about 3-4 weeks ago. The leaves drooped fast and I did lose a couple of the oldest ones. But it is just now starting to get settled in and put out new leaves for me. I think it will just take some time!
