I learned to keep mine moist at all times. Idk if that’s universal or just because mine is in a super tiny pot. Not soaking, just always damp. But it needs a soil that breathes well. #### Lilian님이 2024-12-11에 답변했습니다. So like mist it or moist soil? #### Aisha님이 2024-12-11에 답변했습니다. Moist soil. I just pour a bit of water into it every few days. Mine is seriously a baby. One little leaf in a tiny plastic pot. So I pour like an ounce or so of water every 3-4 days. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-VZXyHvlscAPsUJyNlsxup11wJQidXl1VMee_ytNmeQ/rpo2mvWMR7y5WvzKRwl9rQ.webp?size=large) ### Ezzeldin Yaqoub님이 2024-12-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Also mist the plant to make sure the leaves doesn’t brown and shrivel up. ### eliana님이 2024-12-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. i don’t have the polly alocasia but i do have one in the same family and if they’re similar which i’m assuming they are i most mine along with my other plants and keep my humidity between 50-60% (you can get meters on amazon for like $5-$10) but one thing i learned is they weep or atleast mine does if it’s overwatered but if you’re misting it it will obviously drip off but if you water it and wake up next morning and it’s dripping i wouldn’t water it again! #### eliana님이 2024-12-12에 답변했습니다. mist\*\*\* #### Lilian님이 2024-12-12에 답변했습니다. Thank you! #### eliana님이 2024-12-12에 답변했습니다. i also only water mine when the top 1-2 inches is dry, i could be wrong since everyone else in here is saying to keep it moist so maybe that is where our difference between our plants lay! #### Lilian님이 2024-12-12에 답변했습니다. Yes lol, I bought a temp meter and fertilizer and other plant stuff lol I’m ready for her, I wanted to get leca but it’s EXPENSIVE ### Ann님이 2024-12-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. These plants love high humidity. I have mine on top of my large decorative humidifier and it's only lost one leaf since September. I bought it at Trader Joe's and I think it was overly watered when I bought it. I think having a water meter helps to tell when its time to water. I only water about every 2 weeks because it's so dry with fertilizer every time. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/lBsoqAujTUxtR-rHNme_I3FkGA2Ijrzzfg0vlKjen0I/nhRAiYo_S2S6HVgUfZSlmw.webp?size=large) #### Lilian님이 2024-12-13에 답변했습니다.
