Alocasias are known to drop leaves at the slightest inconvenience (repotting, overall stress). So if this occurs, don’t just toss it! #### AR님이 2025-03-12에 답변했습니다. Thank you so much, i think too much light is something they dont like for sure i am thinking to bring some plant food for the soil that can be used in mutilple plants and saves me $. What about watering i have heard that watering from under the pot works really well. The weather in England really fluctuates a lot one day is super sunny kind of hot and the others its dark and gloomy with dropping temperatures. Also i dont have a humidifier as of yet should i spray water around or on leafs twice a week according to this app? #### fuey님이 2025-03-12에 답변했습니다. The constant water reservoir also helps them stay damp so you don’t have to worry about it drying out. There are some “superstitions” over spraying with water because it is a rapid increase in humidity for a short period of time, then decreases. Some people say you’re better off doing nothing, but I personally haven’t seen any long-term negative effects from it. Before I got the humidifier I sprayed every other day or so. Putting them in a “terrarium” or “dome” like setting also rapidly increases heat and humidity. I probably wouldn’t keep them at 100% with an enclosure, but about 70%. This is my azlanii with her new leaf since being in the self-watering pot ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/7SKbucSsa3x7Hc0JE52ZouSTCYSUkYi4knafwIFj7BY/pAbBIB9QRAurgBa4B_MBkQ.webp?size=large) #### fuey님이 2025-03-12에 답변했습니다. Also ignore that lil dying leaf😭 It got chopped because the new one was too big it covered it from receiving light. If you want to manage the gloomy weather (I totally get it), I have mine under a Sansi grow light. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
