I haven’t but I’ve heard of people doing that! I’ve found I can control the moisture better with a chunky soil with mine, but I think they can do really well in just moss if the watering is just right :)

Yeah I have a chunky soilless mix I made and tried on my syngoniums that seems to be working well. I just haven’t tried it with any of my alocasia yet

For alternative growing substance: leca seems to fair really really well with alocasias!
