So my alocasia frydek is bending and seems to have little kink in its base. I think the wind during a storm last night was too harsh and bent it. This may be no biggie but she doesn’t stand up straight on her own anymore. I’ve tied the two leaves together for a temporary fix hoping that the plant fixes itself over the next couple of weeks. Any advice at all or if anyone could tell me if my plant is gonna be alright. Thank yall!

    You can get a moss pole or stake and tie it to the plant so it sits straight.

    these plants naturally lean. if you rotate the leaves away from the light source, they'll straighten themselves out as they try to bend backwards. regular rotation & stimuli from a fan keeps mine pretty strong. looks perfectly healthy otherwise, could be dealing with nutrient deficiency if you're having the "only keeps two leaves at once" issue
