It’s been raining all morning! I was wondering if alocasia pollys like to be placed out in the rain?! I looked all over google and can’t find any information on it 😭 i just want to place her outside for a little rain water.

My colocasia mojito is so sensitive… I’m considering moving him to a different medium… if I do Leca, is there anything I can do to acclimate first or just go for it? I’m scared!

My reticulated Zebrina is starting to give me some variegation!

I posted my sad alocasia zebrina yesterday. I have been doing some research and think I’m going to try her hydroponic bc I’ve always had luck with that, but SCARED at the same time. Any tips would be appreciated as this is my first alocasia and we are not off to a good start. Wish us luck✨🤟🏻 (Reference pic of her current sad state)

Thinking of getting these off Etsy, does anyone have any suggestions as to different sellers or know if this a good deal?

Help! One of the stems on my black stem just broke 🙁 i noticed a few days ago the stem started drooping and today when I watered it and left for a few hours, I came home to the stem completely bent. Do I cut it off or just let it die some more? Help me 😭

I’m very curious to what this is growing in my elephant ears pot?

I bought a wish list plant today 🥰 And I specifically bought this little Alocasia Black Velvet rather than any of its friends because this one has 3 little babies peeking out!

Hi there, everyone, I am very new to the Alocasia plant. I unfortunately lost my first plant but saved these corms . They are currently in Spagna Moss. My question is I’m not sure how long they sit in Spagna Moss and or would it be better for me to move them on to soil or leca ?
The Secret Root
Why is she droopy? I reported her a couple of days ago and she’s been dripping ever since. I using all moisture soil with a mix of peat moss and perlite like I did with my other alocasias but she just doesn’t look happy🥲

We propagated and divided our only Alocasia Frydeck a couple of weeks ago - some were propagated from corms, some from a root structure (no leaves), and the rest were root structures with a leaf or two. We went from one big plant (first picture) to 10 or 11 new ones. And they’re all doing great!

Over the moon with my new Alocasia Zebrina 🥰There’s one stem/leaf that is very badly dropping with a huge brown crispy section. Best to prune right down to base of plant?

I have a love/hate relationship w my local Home Depot plant dept. I LOVE it this week because I found a red mambo Alocasia on clearance for $3.95 😅 She was clearly neglected but still in really great condition. (Side note I also found a philodendron pink princess and white wizard! Rare Home Depot W 👊🏾)

Alocasia Sunday!!!! My black velvet just opened up a new leaf and it’s got a bloom too! It’s also growing corms! Found a silver dragon at Walmart! I’ve had it on my wishlist for awhile now. Plus when I repotted it already had 3 corms! Also got an Amazonica from IKEA and its new leaf just opened too!

So I need help with my cuprea!! It looks fine, the stems aren’t drooping, but the leaves are sorta facing down. The stem is upright, but it’s like the tips of the leaves are going inwards toward the stem. So the leaf is kinda facing more downwards instead of outwards. I hope I explained that well lol. Any help appreciated :)
