What’s the humidity level and temperature in your house? Alocasias are very finicky and won’t grow many leaves unless in optimal conditions. #### Cat님이 2024-03-16에 답변했습니다. humidity is in the 40s right here i have a little humidity gage and keep my humidifier on for 12 hours from 7am-7pm and the temp ranges from 72-82 #### Cat님이 2024-03-16에 답변했습니다. would she maybe be happier if i keep the humidifier on longer? maybe 16 hours? #### Cat님이 2024-03-16에 답변했습니다. or maybe a rock tray? with water for the hours the humidifier is off? she is up against the radiator and i’ve been messing with my other plants getting them on a more frequent schedule due to my not-optimal conditions rn. i had to move and this is the only space they can be rn ### Bella56님이 2024-03-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. A pebble tray sounds like a good idea, they like humidity at 60% and above. As for the leaf curling, I had that happen to my Polly when I kept it on a window sill in the winter/spring so I think it a temperature issue #### Cat님이 2024-03-17에 답변했습니다. tysm!!! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
