I’ve never had an alocasia and she is just not having it😭 she’s in a self watering container. The water has plant food in it and I’ve tried her at the window and she didn’t like that and now she’s further away and still not liking it

Self watering pots tend to keep the plant sitting in too damp of soil so I’d suggest not using that and putting her into a different container. That’s why the leaves are turning yellow

Also, cut back on fertilizing

my jacklyn is doing really well in a nursery pot in a 1:1 peat and perlite mix.

don’t be fooled by my lime colored leaves, though— they turn this color with lots of light and mine used to sit under a grow light that’s on like 12+ hours a day. I don’t want this new big leaf to lighten up like that so she’s been moved

be really gentle when repotting though — they don’t want their roots messed with
