# My plant has been doing great I repotted put her in a draining pot…

_Posted by Michelle on 2025-10-19_

My plant has been doing great I repotted put her in a draining pot and chunky soil by a humidifier and the last couple of weeks. I’ve noticed her starting to brown and the tips drying out and curling any idea on what this is. I checked thoroughly and I don’t see any infestation, but some leaves do have tiny spots where it looks like it was poked

How long ago did you repot? She might just be dramatic from the repot

### Michelle commented on 2025-10-19

About 2-3 weeks ago

The last alocasia I repotted took about a month to bounce back and start to put out new leaves after losing a lot of leaves

Are you using tap water? If so, buy some aquarium water conditioner at a pet store (it’s the same thing and cheaper than water conditioners made for plants) and put a few drops in every time you water ANY of your plants. Most plants are sensitive to chlorine, lime, etc in tap water and it’s a common cause for leaf tip problems. I promise it’ll make a huge difference!

I never use tap water on my plants it’s distilled water or I use a water conditioner for plants

Awesome! So many people don’t know about it!  
She’s probably a little stressed. They love to be root bound so she’s may just be pouting about you giving her a new place to live. Whenever I repot or have to treat a plant for bugs I always move it into my bathroom for a month. Tons of light, great humidity. If that’s not a good place for your girl I’m sure you can create a similar environment somewhere else in your home.  
You could also try poking some holes in the sides of your container - these ladies love to breathe! I’ve got mine in a Naked root planter, but it’s really easy to just heat up a skewer and poke a few holes halfway up the sides.
