Hello this plant is dying, flopping onto my hosta and slowly wilting away. Is it normal for this A.speciosum?

    Try watering - hosta looks wilted also.

    Hi peren. Yes I think it might be going dormant as some report having theirs go dormant by mid summer.

    Emboth thanks I water speciosum daily then for no apparent reason it just started to go limp and today the leaves are more yellow. I think as peren suggested it could be starting its dormancy. :)

    Arisaemas go dormant in late summer to early fall - that is just their nature. Lack of adequate/soil moisture water earlier in the season can speed this up a bit but IMO, yours looks completely natural and expected for this time of year :-)

    Yes, the very last standing of mine looks like that as well.... It's time, I think...

    What others have said - it's just going dormant. No biggie.
