I was just given an huge (about 5 ft) Alocasia for Christmas and in the past few weeks the leaves have started drooping. This plant was living in a huge green house and now it is in my house. I am sure this has everything to do with the problem but I dont know if there is something specific I need to do for the plant to keep it from drooping. The leaves would be touching the ground if it wasn't on the stand. There is a little discoloration on the smaller falling leaves and the stems are not breaking, just bending. Does anyone have any tips or ideas on what could be wrong? I plan to put the plant outside in a couple months and repot it. It is too cold here in NY to do that now.
