Hi Alocasia lovers,

Current collection fixation is on the Jacklyn.

I only have one Alocasia currently - the humble Polly. I’ve avoided Alocasia for a long time, but since Polly has been stable for almost a year, I think I’m ready for another one. ?😬

If you have a Jacklyn, can you tell me about your experience with her? What issues have you encountered? What makes her happy?

Thank you for your input!

I love my Jacklyn!! it's probably one of my most hardy Alocasia. And i love the texture on it. It went a bit alocasia hissy fit on me, dropping leaves on me when i first got it, but it popped right back up. Quicker than a lot of others I have. I just bought a variegated one, can't wait for it to show up!

I've had my alocasia Jacklyn for over a year now and I absolutely love her! Only real issues I've had are drooping leaves and new leaves having some trouble unfurling. I put her into pon and she seems a lot happier!

I'll be sure to post it
