Looking a little droopy
Hey everyone! My black velvet is looking a bit under the weather. I only bought it last Thursday, could it just be shock from moving?

It's quite possible that your Black Velvet Alocasia is experiencing transplant shock from being moved. Alocasias are sensitive to changes in their environment, and it’s common for them to droop or show signs of stress after being relocated. Make sure it's in a spot with bright, indirect light and that you're not overwatering it—let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. Given some time, it should adjust to its new environment and perk up. If the drooping persists, check for root rot or pests, but most likely, it just needs a little time to acclimate.
Mine does this if I even just move it to a different spot on the plant stand. They don’t like change and they are dramatic about it. I know mine likes to be misted and enjoys the humidifier.
Idk bc my #silverdragon #alocasia was overwatered and I'm having the opposite problem, yellowing.
But the name! 💕🥰 SoM ftw! That's perfect 🖤 one I never thought I would see. I'm waiting on one to name Lucretia 😊

@KinderPlants Hey Jessica, I have my Black Velvet under a grow light and it appears to be happy as it is growing a new leaf as we speak. I just give it distilled water and it is actually in a large martini glass 🍸 with other plants but isn’t complaining about the competition. I find it odd that the leaves can appear inverted but apparently this is common. Id give your plant some time to settle
Hello! I am having the same problem. Also with yellowing leaves. I can always tell when the sun is the brightest the leaves stand straight. I hope they are just moody like the weather.
