What to Do When the Alocasia (Dripping Guanyin) Falls Over? Solving These Problems Is Key
People often ask why the stems and leaves of the Alocasia (Dripping Guanyin) always fall over, and how exactly to grow it so that its roots are strong, the plant is large, and the leaves are smooth and emerald green without toppling. This is truly a technical issue! So, what causes the Alocasia to fall over, and what should be done when this happens?
Alocasia (Dripping Guanyin): Five Key Points for Growing Alocasia
Below is an introduction to the causes of Alocasia toppling and the solutions:
1. Toppling caused by a pot that is too small
Once the Alocasia grows to a certain size, it needs to be repotted; otherwise it cannot grow healthily, and the leaves are prone to drooping, failing to stand upright, and toppling over.
Solution: As soon as you notice roots coming out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot, repot it into a slightly larger pot, but not one that is too large.
2. Toppling caused by lack of fertilizer or fertilizer burn
Because the stems and roots of the Alocasia are fleshy, they cannot tolerate concentrated or raw fertilizer.
Solution: Pay attention to moderate fertilization; do not apply too much fertilizer, and do not skip fertilizing altogether. Also, note that some people like to water flowers and plants with expired yogurt; in this case, it needs to be fermented and then diluted 10-20 times with clean water before watering, and no other fertilizer should be added, otherwise it can easily burn the roots.
3. Toppling caused by lack of sunlight
The Alocasia likes a semi-shaded environment, but it should not be placed in a shaded spot for a long time; it should receive moderate light.
Solution: Simply place it somewhere where it can receive indirect light, or where the sunlight is not too intense.
The water dripping from the leaves of the Alocasia is toxic, but the toxic gas it releases is not enough to cause obvious harm to the human body. When growing Alocasia at home, you need to spray water regularly: on the one hand, it can clean the leaves and achieve the best ornamental effect; on the other hand, it can dilute the toxic substances on the leaves and reduce their toxicity.
