She is one of the only plants I struggle with. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Doesn’t want to stay upright on her own and lost 2 leaves last week… but maybe I’m doing *something* right? 🤞

    Maybe leaves are too heavy to support the stems. I see you’re using stakes. From what I read, it needs sunshine but not direct sun. They prefer evenly moist and not water logged.

    Colocasia esculenta is a variety that can grow in shallow ponds. It typically doesn’t need staking unless it dries out too much. Keeping it evenly moist is good advice, as stated. Good luck.

      I think I was under watering her a bit- everything I found said the same y’all are saying. I have natural humidity stones around her and water her every other day if not daily (been quite hot the past week where I am). ☺️ She’s definitely perked up a bit.

    I would invest in a moss pole for support and aerial root connections
