Alocasia Cucullata drooping
Quick answer
If your Alocasia Cucullata is drooping, the most likely cause is: Alocasia cucullata drops leaves when temperatures fall below its comfort range or when the plant enters its natural winter dormancy, but if conditions are restored in time the underground rhizome pushes up fresh new foliage in spring.
Start here:
- 1. Move the plant to a brighter, warmer spot above 16°C out of cold drafts and protect it from cold windowsills so the foliage stops dropping.
- 2. Wait until spring before cutting back on watering reduction: keep the tuber warm and dry for the winter and resume normal watering little and often once new growth appears.
