My alocasia purple sword just keeps declining since bringing her home and I’m not sure why. I thought at first it was from repotting her from peat moss (how she came) to my chunky mix but she’s already lost two leaves and now every leaf even her new growth is drooping and yellowing and starting to die. I’ve only watered her once and she’s about due for another. Her roots were perfectly healthy. She’s under a grow light for about 6-8 hours a day. Idk what to do!

    I’m not completely sure about this plant. Think about where you got her from was it’s warmer there or getting more light and mimic those conditions for it as it’s probably shocked from the move. Also note that some alocasia like a bit of humidity and for their roots to not dry out completely as they are from rain forests.
