I was gifted this Alocasia scalprum ( no sure how to spell or pronounce)😆…. Last week and the leaves are starting a curl, does anyone know how to help? I don’t know much about them

I do see new babies coming up so that’s a positive thing!

I'd say its just in shock. They are pretty dramatic and hard to figure out how to care for them. Usually when a new leaf comes out an old leaf will die. But to me it seems like its still acclimating to a new environment. Give it a few weeks. It should be ok.

I agree I repotted mine and it took weeks for it to stop being so dramatic and be happy and start to put out new leaves, I also find it curls when it needs water also

Have you checked the soil to make sure it’s not dry? Checked its roots to see if it’s extensively root bound (they don’t mind being a little tight in their pots).

I have a scalprum (in pon) and it’s never done that. Other alocasia, yes! This particular one has been one of the “easier” ones. Do you have other alocasias or is this your first?

### Cherri ha commentato il 2025-10-31

No I have no others, this is the first that’s why I am perplexed! Did check the soil and the root and it seems fine. I was thinking it was getting use to the new environment. I’ve only had it a week so I will watch it
