Among the main reasons for wilted leaves in alocasia can be both overwatering and lack of water.
Symptoms of overwatering are limp, but not dry leaves, and wet soil. The reason may be stagnation of water, which has led to rotting of the roots, and, as a result, they are no longer able to absorb moisture. In this case you need urgently replant the plant, removing rotten roots. After transplanting, you need to reduce watering.
If the leaves are limp and the soil is completely dry, the plant should be watered with warm water.
In the case when only the tips of the leaves have dried out, the flower girl advised placing tray with wet expanded clay.
The blogger noted that problems with wilted leaves can occur even when the plant is not properly provided with moisture. This indicates that there is too much in the pot dense substrate or the pot itself is too tight. If this happened, the flower girl advised transplant alocasia into a loose, drained substrate.
