Biggest mistake in this hobby is over watering …. Water from the bottom until well established … you have used a drain able substrate that is sensible.

Do you have your plants under a grow light 🌱?

This one is right next to my indoor greenhouse which makes the light on this one.

I always recommend using transparent nursery pots so you can keep an eye on the root system health. Also be sure to fertilize during watering, Alocasia’s are heavy feeders 😊 good luck!

So I had just regular soil in all of them, then I learned what they needed so I just changed the soil to chunky last week. Her roots are GORGEOUS. I also gave fertilizer for the 1st time as well.. I love learning about these ladies ❤️
