I bought this beautiful Alocasia frydek about a month ago. I haven’t changed it from its original pot yet. I had a few leaves yellow that I cut off. All the leaves seem to be healthy now and I’m even having new leaves unfurl. A lot of my leaves are drooping now. I’m nervous that the drooping indicates poor health, especially since when I bought it, all the stems were ramrod straight. Could it be that the leaves are just getting big/heavy? Or are there causes for concern? Would love to hear any helpful tips for caring for this plant and keeping it healthy. Thanks!

    Not experienced with these but might just be repot shock. Good luck!

    Maybe it is root bound or it has root rot?

    Are the drooping leaves strong and feel healthy? Not wimpy? Then it’s probably too much light. If they are wimpy feeling then it’s a different issue.

    Alocasia’s love water and many people use a semi hydro type of medium with these. Wondering if it’s lack of water? They are also very hungry plants so fertilizers and silicone additives to the waterings may help.

    What type of lighting are you giving it? I don’t see it mentioned but your frydek seems to be etiolating. Alocasias do love light
