SOS. My alocasias leaves are folding in and dropping. I’m not sure what is wrong or how to fix it. Any suggestions are welcomed. This is my favorite plant 😢

How’s the humidity levels?

#### Planta member replied on 2026-05-15

Probably not great. I don’t have a humidifier

#### Planta member replied on 2026-05-15

My plant has been here for over a year while shooting out new leaves and nothing has changed till recently.

Are you fertilizing?

#### Planta member replied on 2026-05-15

Yes

### Paz commented on 2026-05-15

Mine did this recently and I was told it was too much light or incorrect watering

### Yungbert commented on 2026-05-15

Personally I think it may be in too big of a pot, or more drainage is needed in the soil. also wipe the dust off the leaves. That stops them from being able to photosynthesize.

#### Planta member replied on 2026-05-15

I’ll definitely dust off the leaves but it’s been in the same pot for over a year. I’m going to dig her up and check out the roots and repot. Hopefully that helps

It may also need to be repotted🤷🏽‍♂️
