# My baby Alocasia is growing too fast, do you think giving them…

_Posted by mariamakiling on 2026-04-05_

My baby Alocasia is growing too fast, do you think giving them support is the best option (OR do they even need a support?), rather than repotting? As I think they’re still happy with their little home.

How do y’all support your long stemmed Alocasia’s? Thanks!

Stunning! Seems to be reaching foward for the light, try move light closer to see if it moves back... otherwise perfect to get stem supports for them. I find they are very helpful!

Thank you! They are currently facing my barrina t10 pro, I’ll try to move them with my other plants with the Gathera Sun Bulb, so it’ll be an overhead light, and see if they’ll try to reach upwards rather than forwards.🌱

Wow! Mine are taking years to grow! How did you do this?!

Just consistently feeding them every watering, and ignoring them after. 😆
