This is my non-420 main chick right here,so when she acts up I get sweaty,she has indirect sun light all day and grow light bulbs inside. She is acclimated and growing new fans without dropping any old ones so she happy n healthy but 2 of the fan leaves have turned the opposite direction of the sun? She has been acclimated in this spot for months,why would she suddenly turn like this ?

She bursting outta her pot w pups 👌 I am having trouble maintaining RH. Alocasia very picky. I want to get a mini fish tank for this table. Fishtank would sit under the leaves,they hang over me when I sit at table !! This seems like a good idea to raise this plants specific RH without raising other plants RH? Humidity is 30% to 50% but this seems to want more ? Good idea bad idea?
 
It's the leaves,look.....

I have been fighting this for a bit,I thought it was rh but I'm not so sure any more,is anyone familiar with elephant ears ?
 
I dosed her with a light bio tone n compost tea n extra mag,increased water bucket size n eliminated any drafts. Yellowing started receding so I thought was good but its back and I'm thinking it's not rh. It should have worked. ?
 
Ok so I tried pulling bag up and started watering on longer intervals and I am begining to see they green coming back,I'm thinking I could have been slightly over watering or keeping soil too wet too often when I am misting the plant ? I'm not sure but I will keep watch it.

Ahhh and here is the proof she is a happy camper,this is a alocasia odora (night scented lilly) flower that is starting !!!!! This is proof she is very very happy,odora rarely flower but when they do it's because they are in perfect health n happy af......

Best option is too snip it off,flowering is so taxing that it stops growing leaves and stems and only focuses on the flower. I debating if I want to see the flower or not .........?????
 
Few friends stopped by a few days ago and we started talking about the odora and was saying that a lot of people love these plants and that the plants are so picky most people kill/replace the plant every few months due to improper care. So that's why they fairly expensive in winter times up here in frozen Yankee hell!! So long to short she was saying I could make like 25$ to 85$ depending on size and my baby could go for almost 100 $ plus !! Hmmm this has my gears turning.... Imagine how many pups she could produce n I can pot and sell them easy af in my place ? Only issue is how do I advertise locally ?
