Hi everyone! I could really use some help with my Alocasia Polly. 🥺 I repotted her two weeks ago, and since then she’s been declining. Leaves that were once firm are now drooping, even the larger ones, and some are turning yellow. I also moved her indoors due to the Florida heat. She’s now under a grow light with bright indirect light. I’m not sure if this is transplant shock, watering issues, lighting, or something with the roots. Has anyone experienced this? Any advice would mean a lot. Thank you! 💚

    It might not have the support it needs in the new pot for a while until its roots dig back in. You might need to use some chopsticks to support it. It could also just be that it’s drying out too fast and needs more watering, definitely check the soil a few inches down.

      Thank you! 🤍 I hadn’t even thought about the roots needing time to anchor in the new pot. That’s a really good point. I’ll check the soil moisture a little deeper instead of just the surface and see how she does over the next few days.

    It honestly looks like transplant shock AND lack of light. I’m sorry you’re girl is going through it 🥺 hopefully she just needs time to adapt to her new surroundings 💜 How does her soil look? A humidity tray or humidifier might help encourage her a bit. You may wanna also prune back the super yellow leaves to help her redirect her energy. Best of luck to you 🙏 I hope she bounces back for you soon!

      Definitely agree with good chance of transplant shock, my cuprea hated the change in environment when I bought it

      The smaller cuprea in the pot is still being moody, I just had to turn it around and see if blasting it with the grow light helps

      Thank you so much! 🥹 I really hope it’s just transplant shock. She was recently repotted and also moved from my patio indoors because of the Florida heat, so it’s definitely been a lot of changes for her. She now has a grow light, so I’m hoping that helps too. 💜 Her soil is chunky and well-draining, and I’ll definitely remove the yellow leaves once they’re fully spent. Thank you so much for the encouragement!

      Your Cuprea is gorgeous, even if she’s being moody! 😂 Mine is definitely giving me the silent treatment right now. I just moved her under a grow light too, so hopefully both of our girls decide to cooperate soon. 🤞💜 Thank you!!

    It looks like she needs some support. I would get her something to hold her up!

    Probably just the shock of being repotted and moved around the same time, I’ve been through this and my best advice is to be patient, be caring, and to trust her. She’s got this more than you realize, and she’ll perk back up soon. Hope you see some progress sooner rather than later!
