Common Problems Q&A

Yellowing Leaves

Causes:

  • Overwatering (most common)
  • Poor drainage
  • Underwatering
  • Natural leaf shedding (older leaves)

Solutions:
✅ Check soil moisture before watering—allow the top 1-2 inches to dry before watering again.
✅ Use a well-draining potting mix (peat moss, perlite, orchid bark).
✅ Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
✅ If only one or two lower leaves are yellowing, it may be natural aging—trim them off.

Brown, Crispy Leaf Edges

Causes:

  • Low humidity
  • Underwatering
  • Salt or chemicals in tap water

Solutions:
✅ Increase humidity to 60%+ with a humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting.
✅ Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry, but avoid overwatering.
✅ Use distilled, filtered, or rainwater to prevent chemical buildup.

Drooping or Wilting Leaves

Causes:

  • Overwatering or underwatering
  • Temperature stress (cold drafts or heat)
  • Root rot

Solutions:
✅ Check the soil moisture—if soggy, allow it to dry out before watering again.
✅ Keep the plant in a warm (65-80°F / 18-27°C) environment and away from cold drafts.
✅ If roots are brown and mushy, trim them and repot in fresh soil.

Curling Leaves

Causes:

  • Underwatering
  • Low humidity
  • Pest infestation

Solutions:
✅ Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry.
✅ Increase humidity levels (use a humidifier or misting routine).
✅ Check for pests (spider mites, aphids) and treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

  • Lighting

    Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves. Can tolerate medium light, but growth may slow. If grown outdoors, place in partial shade.

  • Watering

    Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Avoid overwatering, as Alocasia is prone to root rot. Use distilled, filtered, or rainwater to prevent leaf browning.

  • Toxicity

    Toxic to pets and humans if ingested (contains calcium oxalate crystals). Keep away from cats, dogs, and children. If ingested, it can cause mouth irritation, drooling, and stomach upset. Wear gloves when handling if you have sensitive skin.

  • Fertilization

    Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer (diluted to half strength). Do not fertilize in fall and winter when the plant is dormant. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can cause salt buildup and leaf damage. Organic fertilizers like worm castings or fish emulsion are great options!
