# Would love some advice please.. I’m fairly new to Alocasia’s and…

_Posted by ValleyoftheSun on 2024-03-31_

Would love some advice please..  
I’m fairly new to Alocasia’s and purchased this beautiful Stingray almost a month ago, It seems to be doing well and has recently sprouted two new leaves!  
I have never kept a plant in stratum \& water before.  
What do I do about repotting when the time comes? I am fine keeping her in the stratum or transferring her to soil if needed but I’m not sure how that process would work or which one would be better.  
She seem really happy in the stratum. How would I go about moving her to a larger container of it when the time comes. I don’t want to ruin her!  
TIA \& Happy Easter!

My alocasia is still a starter size. I’ve been growing it from a corm in stratum. When I think it needs a bigger pot, I put a half layer of stratum in the new pot and put the old roots and stratum on top of that layer
