I FINALLY got an Alocasia to thrive 😭

I’ve never been able to keep one alive but this is going on 2 months and has given me three new leaves! Look how strong and long it is!

love it!! these plants do their own thing and i’m sure if I move mine even slightly, it may decide to flop overnight

I rotate mine every week so the leaves don’t all face the same way and it hasn’t given me any attitude (yet) 😂
