Help! Alocasia #3 getting ready to die!! Planted in Leca- cleaned off roots really well. Was doing great and then leaves started to curl under? In a clear pot and I cam see the roots are white and healthy looking. I keep a saucer under it with some water in it so touching leca but not the roots. Bad sun in my house *sadly but I have good quality grow lights- pretty good quality anyway. Have a lot of other plants and manage to get them to thrive but not these darn Alocasia! House is in the 60's, plant is near a humidifier. My last ones I have placed in other areas and I just cannot seem to keep them alive longer than a couple of months?? Any suggestions? LOVE this little gal and I don't want to lose another one. I am determined but feeling unqualified! Thanks!

    I find my alocasias usually lose leaves when swapping to leca. Sensitive roots. :) just let it be, water and keep humidity high if you can

    Roots should not be IN the water- correct? I'm having a hard time leaving her be, lol.. I do have to saying does not seem to be getting worse. Not better but not worse either.

      yeah keep the roots above the water line otherwise you might get rot- leca wicks up the water to the roots
