I had a rough start with my alocasias. I thought both of these were goners but I cut them both a while ago and left them in the pots. And they slowly started to grow new leaves. Now they are thriving! So excited to see them continue to grow!

Gorgeous!! I love Alocasia. 🥰 All of mine are thriving right now except for my Jacklyn 😭 I think she went into shock after I repotted her into pon. I hope she pulls through because she’s one of my faves! 🥲
