Wow I think that’s it, thank you!! 💚

she’s super easy to take care of, but just one time over watering and the leaves turn a yellow tone. other than that i’ve done nothing with mine besides water and fertilize and she’s thriving!!

#### Freedomskai replied on 2023-09-20

Sounds like she can be a drama queen lol but easy! Water when she dries out? (Thank you so much for the advice!! I appreciate it so much!!)

#### nano replied on 2023-09-20

mines in a terracotta pot so she dries super fast, it’s usually over half the soil is dry before i end up watering again, just whenever i have the time to. i know alocasias are supposed to stay somewhat moist all the time, but i’ve never had issues so far with how i water it, and you’re welcome!

I noticed your leaves point up Vs mine that point down. Can this still be the same plant?

Please watch for spider mites.
