# Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my plant. I currently have it…

_Posted by Joey on 2025-08-18_

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my plant. I currently have it outside in moderate sun (in shade at certain times) I water it when it says to be watered. I will say the pot does not have drainage holes unlike my other plants ( taking care of it for my mom) which could be a main issue but other than that I don’t know who it looks so droopy and sad.

Looks dry. These need humidity.

It’s been very humid recently with lots of rain and very hot weather. Is there anyway I can get it more moisture and humidity without overwatering

#### Ashley replied on 2025-08-18

I would next check the roots. If the plant is getting adequate humidity, it’s not able to get the nutrients it needs for some reason. Soil looks dense, is the mix chunky?

U can try using a spray bottle pn the leaves

Looks like an alocasia variety right? too much exposure to sun try positioning it in an area with partial mid-day shade

### Aisha commented on 2025-08-18

Drainage is vital for a plant. The leaves look crispy/dry, but I’d highly recommend checking the roots for rot.

It looks overwatered based on the yellow line beside the dry bits. Lack of drainage means standing water on the roots and root rot. Check the roots. Change the soil and pot. 🪴🍀
