I was gifted this Alocasia scalprum ( no sure how to spell or pronounce)šŸ˜†ā€¦. Last week and the leaves are starting a curl, does anyone know how to help? I donā€™t know much about them

    I do see new babies coming up so thatā€™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 itā€™s not dry? Checked its roots to see if itā€™s extensively root bound (they donā€™t mind being a little tight in their pots). I have a scalprum (in pon) and itā€™s never done that. Other alocasia, yes! This particular one has been one of the ā€œeasierā€ ones. Do you have other alocasias or is this your first?

    No I have no others, this is the first thatā€™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. Iā€™ve only had it a week so I will watch it
