no new growth on Alocasia Frydek
Quick answer
If your Alocasia Frydek has no new growth, the most likely cause is: Frydeks may stop growing due to seasonal dormancy (triggered by cold/low light), root rot (energy diverted to survival), or nutrient starvation. Being heavy feeders, they require consistent fertilization to push out new spears.
Start here:
- 1. Check corm firmness; a mushy base indicates rot, while a firm one suggests dormancy or starvation
- 2. If in growing season, apply 1/4 strength balanced fertilizer with every watering to stimulate new growth
