I have had the hardest time with Alocasias. They love humidity and don’t like to dry out. I finally put mine on a pebble tray and it’s seemed to have helped

Yeah they do love humidity. And moist soil always, but not toooo moist 🤪 Mine’s still a seedling size so I have it in a humidity dome. I’m using fluval stratum for mine, but I’d suggest any semi-hydro medium if you’re familiar with those, Casey. That way you can have water in it all the time without having the risks of overly-wet soil

Thank you for the tips, I’ll definitely look into semihydro for it!! I also have it in a pebble tray right now also near a humidifier so i’m hoping she likes her new home

I tried pon with mine but I’m still kind of a newbie on some things and semi-hydroponic is one of them lol. I killed my Poly all the way with pon 🤦🏼‍♀️ I need step by step directions I guess 😆
