# I’m new to alocasias. Are they supposed to look like and act this? In…

I’m new to alocasias. Are they supposed to look like and act this? In the month I’ve had it it’s pushed out a baby and a new leaf but lost three leaves. Also is it droopy or is this normal? It’s an alocasia ‘golden bone’. It’s next to a window and has grow lights and a humidifier.

Pretty typical for Alocasia. They can be a little prima donna-ish. But worth it!

LOL my metalhead is the most dramatic bish. Don’t freak out. It clearly brings them joy to stress us out 😂
