    Mine does the same thing I thought about getting a stick or some wire to keep them longer

    That’s what they do is what I have previously read from this community

    Alocasia will only keep 3 leaves while young, once mature it will be able to hold more, but until then enjoy the new leaves as “upgrades” to the ones leaving

    Are the tips on any leaf drying or getting soft? Are any leaves discolored or darkening? It’s hard to tell from the picture. Post pictures of the face of each leaf. I’m wondering if it’s a watering issue.

      All the plant leafs are fine and no discolouration apart from the one thats flopping its tip is a little browny yellow

    Alocasias seem to have a one in, one out rule with their leaves. As a new one grows in, the most mature leaf begins to yellow and die off.
