Can someone help me figure out why my Cuprea's leaves are facing downwards? It's such a beautiful plant, but I can't see it's leaves. Its a couple feet away from a window.

ok so if its an alocasia move to a DARKER spot  
like lower indirect light  
also SOAK  
like fill a sink/shower and let it soak overnight  
i had a similar problem and it SAVED my dragon scale
