Silver Dragon Help
I recently picked up a Silver Dragon that was in decent health and even had a fresh leaf, but leaves were droopy and the ends were crispy. I trimmed the crispy ends and repotted it because it was in dense soil that was hydrophobic. After repotting I was expecting her to go into shock, but she actually perked up and looked really happy the following day. Then I made the mistake of taking her out of the pot when I realized there was pieces of bark that were blocking the corners at the bottom of the naked root planter, and I feared that the water wasn’t making its way to the roots because of it so I lifted her out of the pot just to push the bark and soil down into the corners more and then I put her back. I did not mess with her roots at all. The following day all of her leaves started drooping over and I figured I put her into shock. Now it’s been three days and the first set of pictures is what she looks like. All of the leaves except for one are slowly deteriorating. The last two pictures are of the one leaf that has not started dying (yet?😭)
Please tell me if she’s a lost cause, or if she will bounce back from this.
Should I trim off the leaves that are slowly dying and just leave the one that looks healthy still?
The only other alocasia I own is a regal shield, which I know is one of the easiest and forgiving alocasias, and I’ve never experienced a plant going into shock until now! Help me save her please 🙏🏼😭
