I’m newer to plants and I bought an Alocasia a few months ago… _alliec님이 2026-04-04에 게시함_ Hi!! I’m newer to plants and I bought an Alocasia a few months ago and I died unfortunately:( I got a new one last month and it was doing okay and this past week the leaves have been dropping like no other. I’m not sure if it’s because there are two flowers growing so all the energy is focused there? Any advice or tips?☺️ ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wvwpzHGdWuwOIkbwO3RdRHxp-MpY8fuVP4Ul_YGmiEU/WXKxX_G3S3-LOuP9DPXaLA.webp?size=large) ## 8개의 댓글 ### The leafy Angel님이 2026-04-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. Maybe not enough humidity? ### Phil님이 2026-04-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. If the down turned stems feel normal and strong, then it’s probably too much light. If the down turned stems feel wimpy and weak, then it is something else. ### Nate님이 2026-04-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. The color of these leaves don’t look sunburnt to me. My guess would be you’re watering too much or too little based on the color of that soil, probably too little. Put it in a self watering pot and alocasia become a LOT easier to work with. Otherwise “evenly moist” takes near constant effort ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nsWfO3IdAOvX-sCmNrkAb2ZEf2TP_keVjHlW-P-29-s/mynuo8mITg-6y1xN1nUrFQ.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nsWfO3IdAOvX-sCmNrkAb2ZEf2TP_keVjHlW-P-29-s/i0Kj9Ic_Q0uMBynnck4aVA.webp?size=large) ### Nate님이 2026-04-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. Also, I’m willing to bet your first alocasia didn’t actually die unless it rotted. Alocasia can drop all their leaves and still be regrown from corm. I actually grew the alocasia pictured in my last comment back from the corm of one I thought died because of industrial dehumidifiers after our apartment flooded last year. Here are some pictures of its comeback! ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nsWfO3IdAOvX-sCmNrkAb2ZEf2TP_keVjHlW-P-29-s/wMRG4Yb5TBi2rHDkEsHgcg.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nsWfO3IdAOvX-sCmNrkAb2ZEf2TP_keVjHlW-P-29-s/CAs_t21mSyqZaEsC0vR-Ew.webp?size=large) ### Nate님이 2026-04-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. I might see some white flecks on the leaves though. Do you see any small white bugs or webbing on the leaves? Another reason this plant might be dramatic at the moment would be spider mites 😬 #### alliec님이 2026-04-04에 답변했습니다. Wow you have been so helpful!! I’m thinking it’s a watering issue so I’m going to go get a self watering pot today. As for the bug or webbing- I am not seeing any😅 ### Syd님이 2026-04-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. What self watering pots do you recommend? I had some plants in terra cotta pots that I thought would regulate water well, but they ended up flooding my roots. Then I got some from Walmart where you fill the reservoir, and had the same issue. I switched to nursery pots but have a new alocasia that I want to do well #### Nate님이 2026-04-04에 답변했습니다. My absolute favorite brand is Lechuza, but they’re a bit pricey. I’ve had great luck with cheaper options like this. Most of my plants are in this type of pot now. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nsWfO3IdAOvX-sCmNrkAb2ZEf2TP_keVjHlW-P-29-s/DoJwCoxbQJGXNJxsm3H5qQ.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
