Hey everyone, I just got my first Alocasia and I heard that they thrive best in Semi-Hydroponic but I didn’t know if a Tiny Dancer would be the same. Looking for advice and tips please and thank you 🫶🏽

I was told mollys aroid mix is like top tier when doing soil. I didn’t listen because I am broke, however I bought grow queens aroid mix and that seems to be doing good too. I’m so new so please take what I say super small. But mollys aroid mix if you have the money I’d spend it. They are a great company!
