Red Secret Alocasia Care

There are a few causes of yellow leaves on a Red Secret Alocasia but the most common one is overwatering. Check the moisture levels in the soil and replace the potting mix if waterlogged. This will stop any further root rot and allow the plant to start to recover.

Other causes include: pest infestation, direct sunlight or fertiliser burn.

It can be quite common that an Red Secret Alocasia loses leaves as it grows. You should only ever be concerned if it is losing more leaves than it is growing as that is a sign something isn’t quite right. Check the soil to see whether over or underwatering is causing this. Alternatively, there may be pests who have made themselves at homes on your plant’s leaves.

Brown leaves on a Red Secret Alocasia often means watering issues, both too much and too little water. However, there are a few distinct differences to help you diagnose the issue and correct your watering pattern to prevent more brown leaves. If your Red Secret Alocasia is being overwatered, the leaves will often look quite dark brown in colour and brown patches will form across the leaves. An overwatered plant will also feel quite soft.

If you have been underwatering your Red Secret Alocasia, the leaves will be light brown in colour, often from the tips and edges inwards. They will look and feel crispy.

We also recommend taking your Red Secret Alocasia out of its pot to check if the soil is waterlogged (replace immediately if it is). To prevent more brown leaves from developing on your Red Secret Alocasia in future, adjust your watering schedule moving forward.

If your Red Secret Alocasia is drooping then this often means your plant is either overwatered or underwatered (confusing right!). Both extremes will damage the root system which means the stems will become soft and droopy.

If watering doesn’t seem to be the issue, your Red Secret Alocasia might also be drooping due to low light levels, low temperatures or shock from moving to a new spot.

Curling leaves are often the most difficult problem to diagnose because there are several factors that can cause them on Red Secret Alocasia. Leaves might be curling due to underwatering, low temperatures, pests, low humidity or overferitlisaiton.

We recommend going through each of the potential issues above, checking your plant, it’s soil and environment and hopefully you can find the right cause of the curling leaves.
