#alocasiaaddicts I have a few of these and slowly trying to understand them but not really haha. They're so beautiful but the frydek is bending over. I have them hello up with a pole but I'm not sure what else to do. It's not dry and in the south window getting plenty of sun and humid as it's been high 80s in MN. She seemingly gets a lighter color as well. Any ideas? I have 3 others which are doing well (Rumpelstiltskin, 2 Bambinos)

While this doesn't point to an issue of too much direct sun, a south-facing window normally gets direct sun all day unless there's a curtain to diffuse it. Alocasia prefer bright, indirect light, so if it's getting hit with direct sun I'd move it back a few feet or move it to a north or east-facing window instead.
