I planted this Colocasia Illustris about 6 weeks ago. It's been putting out new growth and looked happy til the last two weeks or so. As I hope the photo shows, some stems have flopped over and there are some leaves that look a bit more yellowed/spotty than they should. The plant is in mostly shade with about 90 minutes of midday sun. I water it daily. is this the best I can expect considering it's in shade? Is it healthy? If not, suggestions? Thanks!
