# After a battle with root rot with my Alocasia Longiloba Lemon Lime, I…

_Posted by Plant Dad on 2026-04-16_

After a battle with root rot with my Alocasia Longiloba Lemon Lime, I thought she would never come back. I tried getting the rhyzome to root in pon, it did nothing. After trying my soil mix; it did nothing. After trying moss on top of leca; still nothing. The soil was the third attempt and I almost gave up. But then, someone suggested to increase the humidity (all of my plants are in ambient humidity of 50%-70%ish), so I put it in a clear plastic bag with ventilation holes and within just a few days, I saw a green sprout starting to stick out. The first leaf coming back from the dead definitely did not disappoint
