# The only Alocasia I’ve managed to keep alive and getting new growth……

The only Alocasia I’ve managed to keep alive and getting new growth… and I dropped it on its head \& cracked it when I first got it and held the wounds together with orchid clips… trauma gives strength I guess ! 🤣🤣 (you can totally see her scars too lmaoo)

Scars tell a story. 😄 Good job saving those stems and getting her all healed up!
