    I hope you like HEARTBREAK! 🙃. They can be finicky and often (in the fall) drop leaves like crazy - for no apparent reason other than you BREATHED. Find the spot in your home they like and then leave them there. Mine have humidifiers going and I let them dry out on the top 2” before watering. I also check them every week for pests because they have a lot of nooks and crannies to hide in. I use a product called Neem and Gleam to clean their leaves about every three weeks. My hope is the neem keeps pests from ever settling there again!

    Return it! 😂 Just kidding but alocasias are very difficult. I’ve killed 6 of them.

      Wow glad it’s not just me 😅. I’ve killed 3 and have no idea what I did wrong. I have 2 more and if they die too, that’s it for me and Alocasias!

    Repot with an aroid soil mix (once it’s acclimated to your home). They like bright light, warm temps and humidity but not water sitting on the leaves. Be careful not to overwater, let it dry almost completely or if it starts to droop
