It is important to know nature’s secrets: alocasias grow cyclically and, to develop a new, stronger, and larger leaf, they often sacrifice and shed their oldest, smallest leaf (which naturally turns yellow and withers) – there is no need to worry about this, it is a completely normal process. Do not repot this plant immediately into a too large pot – alocasias prefer their roots to be relatively snug. When you repot it in the future, be sure to use an \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"821\"\u003eextremely airy, loose aroid soil mix\u003c\/b\u003e (generously mixed with perlite, orchid bark, and coconut chips) so the roots can breathe freely and excess water drains instantly through the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augi-Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54523965112649,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/FullSizeRender_764612fb-c291-4124-aa07-caef1aa0eba8.heic?v=1780382304","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.fi\/en\/products\/alocasia-zebrina-reticulata","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
