# I got this Alocasia Bisma in the mail a couple days ago, I removed…

_Posted by Kayla on 2025-05-02_

I got this Alocasia Bisma in the mail a couple days ago, I removed the peat and put it in soil and it seems to be doing ok… for now. Any recommendations? I always damage my Alocasia back down to the corm 😬 no problem growing it back but when they have leaves they hate me

I moved most of my alocasias to pon and naked root planters last summer, and they are so happy! I also used to damage them down to a stump. Like this one currently rehabbing in stratum lol
