Hello! I just received my very first alocasia scalprum. She is very sad from her journey and I want to do everything I can to make sure she bounces back. Right now, she is still in her starter plug which appears to be in some sort of biodegradable mesh. The plug is moist but not wet. I have her sitting under a grow light surrounded by other more mature plants. This is my first time buying a starter plant and first time with an alocasia. Any recommendations for care? Thanks in advance!

    Make sure it stays in a humid climate. They tend to be really finicky but in my experience, switching them to hydroponic has worked the best. But I would just let it settle in and see how it goes!

    When they are small plug plantlets, I tend to plant them in a very free draining substrate & in a orchid transparent plastic pot. It is better that you can see the root growth & ensure that the plant isn’t sitting in water. I much prefer to concentrate on root establishment than new 🍃 ‘s. The Alocasia once established with good roots can then be transferred to a larger pot to establish new leaf growth ….😀
