Sick alocasia

From: stevenh at sirius.com (Steve H) on 1997.03.31 at 18:43:44(552) Fellow Aroiders, I recently purchased an alocasia plant from Home Depot. I brought it home and repotted it into a larger pot. I was very careful not to disturb the root mass. With in a week two of the four leaves began to droop. The base of the leaf stems became soft and mushy and eventually rotted off at the base of the plant. Since then the remaining two leaves have drooped to the extent that the stems can no longer support the leaves. No rot on these two yet. Can anybody give me some advice as to what is going on with my plant? Can it be saved? Steve Hall +More stevenh@sirius.com
