My alocasia Polly was dying in the dirt so I am trying to move her into water. Does anyone know what could be wrong? She was in a terracotta pot with drainage holes and had jsut been repotted from her nursery pot.

KEEP THE WATER FULL! If possible use distilled water ( you can buy this at the grocery shop) and change the water weekly don't be scared if you see the water start turning a little green. Just don't like it get too bad. ❤️

Yeah 😭 I have the most luck growing things in water so if dirt fails I might as well try water
