I am having a heck of a time trying to research why she is the way she is and what to do about it. She’s definitely alive. I harvested a lot of little baby seedlings in her roots (which are growing beautifully btw). I’d love if someone can help me understand why she is the way she is and what I can do to promote stem and leaf growth.

I don’t have any advice, but I googled the name to see what she’s typically supposed to look like and that got a good laugh out of me.
You and me both 😂
Good Luck. I had a plant that I brought inside for the cold weather, all of the leaves fell off - it was a succulent - so it looked dead. I saw 1 small green branch, so I put it outside, now that it is warm, to see if anything happens. Low and behold - it’s growing leaves! So don’t give up
It’s actually lo and behold. (Sorry)
Don’t apologize. They should be thanking you for the gentle correction.
Gosh, I wish I could put my plants outside but they will be instantly destroyed by city nature. I’m not even sure how she ended up like this. Her leaves just fell off naturally and never regenerated. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I just put them on the front porch, and it works well
Listen, this is a judgement-free community. 😅
I swear I love all my special plants! 😅😅
Had a quick search: “Grow Alocasia ‘Polly’ in bright light out of direct sunlight, in free draining peat-free compost. A minimum temperature of 16ºC is perfect, ideally in a humid location, such as a bathroom. If the room isn’t humid enough, you can increase humidity levels by standing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and then add water until it rises to just below the bottom of the pot.”
If relevant, try addressing humidity and ensure it stays out of direct sunlight. It could be waiting until conditions are favourable.
Thank you for this info! I feel like this applies to just general care though. I’m looking to learn specifically what happens when I have a healthy stump, how to stimulate stem/leaf growth.
It’s very happy, I’ve harvested a lot of seedlings that are growing beautifully and I think mama are growing more in the roots. I’m just confused why she be like she be 😅
try stroking it?
Every night 🥰
