I’ve never had one of these before and she isn’t happy with me. I just repotted her about a week ago and I’ve watered and let sit, in direct sun and in my grow light humid bathroom. I don’t wanna lose her 🥲 what do I do

Looks like she needs more water.

### Gabe commented on 2025-09-04

Maybe a more water retaining soil mix.

#### Jewel replied on 2025-09-04

The soil is staying wet, it’s a mix of potting, succulent and orchid.

#### Jewel replied on 2025-09-04

You think maybe letting her dry out completely? I know these plants do like to drink a lot. But I’m scared to overwater

### Gabe commented on 2025-09-04

Yup! Your priority’s should be a lot of light and consistent watering schedule.

Maby less humidity

#### Jewel replied on 2025-09-04

Well I moved her today to my bedroom window instead of the bathroom and she still is unhappy :(

I second this! My alocasia had a similar issue when I took “likes humidity” a little too serious lol

#### Gillian replied on 2025-09-04

Give her a day or two to acclimate and liven up 🥰

Direct sun is too much. Bright INDIRECT sun.
