An important natural secret: alocasias grow naturally in cycles, and to grow a new, larger, and stronger leaf, they often sacrifice and drop their oldest, smallest leaf – there is no need to worry, this is a completely normal process. Do not repot this plant immediately into a too-large pot – alocasias prefer a compact environment. When you do repot it in the future, ALWAYS use an \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"833\"\u003eextremely airy, loose aroid soil mix\u003c\/b\u003e (generously mixed with dry orchid bark, coconut chips, and perlite) so the roots can breathe freely and water drains instantly through the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augi-Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54567306395977,"sku":null,"price":25.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/3AB4F2AE-EA35-41CB-BE47-BBD7D088BEE0.jpg?v=1780942611","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.lv\/en\/products\/alocasia-gageana-aurea","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
