bought this “jumbo” alocasia from TJ’s yesterday — i doubt that’s the real name lol. it’s in its original (8” diameter) plastic pot. i’ve heard mixed things about the soil / medium that plants are kept in in-store, like this. should i repot right away? should i leave it be? p.s. i think it might be an alocasia macrorrhizos ‘stingray’ ? but lmk if anyone knows for sure
I’m SO excited! Brand new leaf on my Polly fixin’ to unfurl!! 😳❤️❤️❤️
Well I did it. 🥰
Nothing better than a new leaf! But I'm worried about these spots. I'm new to plants. Fungal??
I hit the jackpot at Lowe’s today! 4 new Alocasia x amazonica (Amazonian Elephant Ear) 💚💚💚💚 Alocasias are my fav plant ☺️
I saw this beautiful little Alocasia at the grocery store today for $6.99! Immediately checked the roots, which look great. But…the potting medium is weird and spongy and almost like a dense brownie. I have no clue what to do or how to remove it without damaging the roots. Do I leave it as is for now or repot? Any help would be great!
Came in the mail looking so vibrant today
Came out the box today looking amazing! I do recommend this seller on Etsy haha so far so good!
More Alocasia love! How can I not when she's clearly strutting her stuff. She has taken to her new pot, aggressively! New leaf so variegated! What I jokingly call her "bum leaf" has finally shown some age spots today :/ cutie! Already showing signs of a new leaf too come! I expect her to outgrow this pot very soon! Ms Frangelica! House of Alocasia, Frydek, the variegated chapter 💅🏽
New leaf is growing so big
Baby is finally pushing leaves !!!
why does this feel like a boudoir shoot 🤭 she's flowering!
Just got this new plant from Home Depot! It was labeled as an alocasia regal shield but it looks more like an alocasia wentii to me? What do you think? Also does these seem like a good enough spot this far from grow lights?
This is a first for me!! Looks like she's blooming
My Walmart plant find of the month. 😂 This is the fourth alocasia I’ve rescued from Walmarts clearance section and she’s in pretty decent health too!
Any idea what could have caused this?
Couldn't pass up this alocasia with a perfect, pure white leaf. She is STUNNING! This is only my second alocasia so any pro tips on keeping her happy are appreciated!
Got this on clearance at Walmart! It’s labeled “Fancy Alocasia” but Planta doesn’t know what that is… so what is it really?
Aaaaaaaaa…..the maintenance of alocasias….💀
What can I do to prevent droopy leaves? Everytime a new one comes out the oldest then starts to drop. I end up chopping it before it even dies bc I just hate looking at it. It hasn’t been able to hold onto more than 02 leaves. Does it need more light or should I try a self watering pot? Maybe pon instead of soil??
