What is the best way to check for corms and how often do you do it? I have a Dragon Scale Albo that is a nice size that probably has some nice corms under the surface; She is in pon if that makes a difference

So i got a beautiful Alocasia Polly, and unexpectedly found ten corms when I repotted. In my panic, I went with the puddle method as it was the easiest to do with what I had and Iâve heard good things. Has anyone else used this method or another that they could give me advice on? Itâs my first time getting corms so iâm excited and nervous! Mother plant is doing amazing and has a new leaf coming in too đ„° TIA!

My first alocasia! It was $4 on the sale rack at Lowe's. I repotted and divided into individual plants. Gonna try this self watering terracotta pot I got on clearance at Walmart. đ€ When reporting I even found a corm!

Iâm not 100% on what type of alocasia this is but sheâs doing a lot better from December until now pics before and after

What type of alocaisa do yâall think this is? All my app scanners tell me itâs an amazonica Polly but all my Pollyâs have more of a ruffled edge to the leaf this one is little more smooth. It could be a Polly Iâm just not sure!

*UPDATE!!! When you are plant obsessed and you go to your garden shop for leca⊠đ đ đ sheâs so beautiful! I hate that sheâs going to have to live outside but her size! đđđ Soooo⊠she isnât going to live outside after all. She will live in my new 45 gallon tank. Currently sheâs all washed up and in LECA to acclimate white I get the components needed to get the tank plant ready. But it has been decided!!

Am new here. Posted this same question under Pest/Problems before seeing this group. Bought this Polly last week in perfect condition. Repotted into stratum/perlite & the next day this spot appeared. Any thoughts on cause?

I have 2 nursery black velvet alocasia and was wondering if it will be okay to pot them together? One just sprouted a new leaf and Iâve heard some say that plants grow better together but Im not sure if mine are still too young to do that. Theyâre in about 3â nursery pots right now so I was thinking both in a 4â pot maybe? I havenât checked the root size yet as I just got them a week ago maybe and donât know if the root system is too fragile to handle right nowâŠ

Hey all! I just got two new variegated alocasia frydek babies in the mail today. Iâm pretty good with philodendrons and monsteras, but Iâm a first time alocasia owner. Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

Help! when I bought this zebrina she was drowning in water, I had to immediately repot her but she hardly had any roots when I did, sheâs sad now. Any tips?

Must be doing something right because all my alocasia have new leaves starting to pop up! (Ignore the dead one, that ones also has a new leaf starting to pop out)

Iâm fairly new to alocasias. Are these baby plants in my black velvet?

Omg. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? All of my other plants are thriving except for this guy (and a succulent lol long story). He has grown a little taller since I've bought him, but no new growth. I've actually had to cut a few pieces from a couple damaged leaves, but I thought all was good! I did that day one and weeks went by, no stress was shown. I did however remove some mesh that was entangled around the roots as I've heard that was good to do. I was careful, but I think it may have stressed him a bit. A week or so later he had some leaves drop (stem and all đ). Roots look healthy and it's been probably 2 weeks since I removed the mesh, I figured he would have settled down by now if stressed. Woke up this morning to ANOTHER dropped leaf! What am I doing wrong? Should I give him more sun? Less sun? Soil is still moist. I'm at a loss, please help! The leaf that's hanging is mushy, yesterday it was fine!

My silver dragon had 8 babies. These 3 corms (one is still attached to mom) other 4 are baby silver dragon plants. Should I plant the corms? Sell them? Iâm not sure what to do? I have never had a plant do this (I do know they make corms).
