Does this look leggy ?
My black velvet normally lives in a SW facing window. But after putting out no leaves all sunmer I moved it about a foot back. Now it has a new leaf finally, but I’m worried its stems are etiolating. What do you think?
Im frustrated, this is my only alocasia that hasnt taken off this year . #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #alocasiablackvelvet #LecaLeague #LecaLovers #leca #semihydroponics #semihydro

@AggroResting I believe the issue could be related to light exposure. Bright, indirect sunlight is the sweet spot for your Begonia 'Black Velvet'. Direct rays can lead to leaf scorch, while insufficient light may cause etiolation. To ensure an even growth, rotate your plant periodically. This mimics the sunlight of a forest, which is their natural habitat.
@AggroResting I see your soil, my suggestion is maybe use an organic soil with no heavy fertilizers and maybe a slightly bigger pot. No huge but 1”- 1 1/2” bigger. That’s my advice 🤷♀️
