Hi everyone! I just got this lil baby variegated Frydek in the mail today. He’s so pretty and I am TERRIFIED to kill him! Generally I’m pretty good with plants, and most of my plants are tropical. I have humidifiers and a grow light for everybody. Anyone have tips on helping him thrive?
Expect drama from alocasia. Just try not to over correct, if you know the care is good. I've started giving them a dose of Mycorrhizal when I get them, and it seems to help the ensuing "new home tantrum"
5개 좋아요 Yeah, I noticed that with my other alocasia too. Lol. They do seem to be drama queens.

mine has been enjoying a self-watering pot too keep her moist, but not soggy sitting in water. has put out 2 new leaves in 2 weeks i’m unsure if they’d make one as small as yours is now, but something to look into

I got one a while ago and I put him into leca. I filled the water to just under his roots and keep him in 70%-80% humidity and 78 Fahrenheit. He’s been doing great and even pushed out a new leaf recently
