Zebra elephant ear is very sad!


I have no idea what I’m doing with this one.

She gets indirect light on our kitchen table where she has been since she was young and thriving.

Bottom watered when the soil is dry cause I saw somewhere that’s what they like.

The stalks are strong which makes me think I’m doing at least something right. Her leaves are … I don’t know how to explain but they are NOT happy

I really love her and don’t want to lose her

    looks like it could be being burned by that third pic. the second one seems to be something else. the pot looks a little big for just having two leaves so it won’t be using enough water quick enough and ‘may’ have some amount of root rot.

    Good luck; I’ve had two Zebrinas and couldn’t keep them alive.

    Second pic is giving spider mite damage and the third is giving fungal/overwatering issues. The length of the stems is also making me think it would like more light. I’d check the roots out and look for pests as a first step.

    I’ve had the best luck with alocasia by moving them to a semihydro setup with LECA but that can be a lot especially if you only have 1 or two alocasia.
