HELP! My Alocasia “Regal Shields” keeps flopping over. Currently using a paper towel roll to try to keep it upright. I don’t want this bad boy to die on me!! I’m also worried about the leaves flopping over the edge…

Amie206Alocasia’s can been VERY dramatic in my experience. They often do this when pushing out new growth OR for no reason at all 🤦🏻♀️. You can try to increase the humidity around it. What type of light is it getting?

It’s next to my sliding glass door; not sure what facing window it is, but I’d say it gets bright indirect for majority of the day?

Do you live in a colder climate? It may not like being next to the window if it gets below 60 outside. If you have an iPhone, there is a compass that can help you determine what direction. It’s facing. I also let mine dry out almost all the way before I water again

Okay, i should probably move it a little further away so it doesn’t get cold. I’ll try that!

And yes I usually let it dry out completely before watering again!
