# I got this alocasia Polly recently, and im still rather new to…

_Posted by liz on 2025-10-06_

I got this alocasia Polly recently, and im still rather new to alocasia care… it’s recently started getting mushier tips (the one on the right completely “mushed up”) im wondering what care tips I need .. I recently watered and the soil is still kind of moist.

Mushy leaves usually tend to mean over watering. Does it have drainage holes? If it does make sure you’re pouring out any excess water that drains out. If it doesn’t have drainage I would put it something with drainage

Chunky soil, good drainage, cut the bad leaf off!
