Hello, I’m new to Alocasias I got this frydek about two months ago maybe 2.5 months ago. She’s gotten taller and her largest leaf unfortunately died off hence the tiny nub cut off by the base of the stem. She was under a red plant light. But that isn’t helping her anymore. I don’t have a humidifier, I’m trying to find a nice affordable one. I put her by south west facing window where there’s tons of sun. How can I help her be happier and healthier?! They have become my new favourite plant and I don’t want to lose her. I’d love to take care of all the different kinds of alocasias! Please share any tips!

Beautiful baby corms from a red jewel, a grey dragon, and a variegated black velvet. I love watching these babies growšŸ˜šŸ„¹

Hi! I recently got this alocasia and im wondering what soil is best for it? I think its just in normal potting mix/soil that it came with! tia :)

Any idea as to why this is happening. I got 2 from a nursery about a week ago. They both look like this and they are both in two different spots getting lots of humidity. They are both 3-4 feet away from a window no direct light. This one hasn’t been watered by me since I got it. The other one I have watered and the next day it looked like this as well. Looks like this is getting worse by the day. I have a grow light on as well for 3 hours.

I grew a corm in horticultural substrate. It literally is thriving. It recently just started growing its third leaf. When should I switch to soil or should I keep it in the substrate or possibly pon?

I have an alocasia silver dragon and the tip on one of the leaves is dry but the leaves aren’t yellowing. Could this be a humidity issue? .

My first Alocasia. She (Allie) was purchased in soil and seems to be doing well. Does she need to be moved into something else, soil or pot? Thanks in advance for your advice it is greatly appreciated.

Can anyone identify this alocasia? The label is not correct

I’m looking for a second opinion on identifying this Alocasia. Planta scan says Azlanii but I’ve known it to be wrong before.

I’ve had my alocasia camouflage for over a month and nothing is happening. It was putting out a new leaf when I bought it so the smaller leaves have died off, but I haven’t gotten a new growth point since. The new leaf unfurled within the first week of having it. The roots look really healthy, it’s right next to the humidifier, and sits in a south facing window (with blinds). Has anyone experienced the same?

So many questions now I found the right people to ask šŸ¤—šŸ¤—šŸ¤— How do people get on with propagating from leaves? I know they grow from corms but will cuttings work? Pic of my babies just because šŸ˜†

My polly had massive root rot and I didn’t know so I have put her in Leca (heard they love it) and I want to make sure I have done it right she has next to no roots so hoping she will bounce back and get beautiful water roots the white line is where the water is

recently got this silver dragon and she seems happy, except her new growth appears to be struggling. it’s turned yellow and slightly crispy at the top. but the rest of her looks healthy? i did repot her a week ago or so, so maybe she’s in a bit of shock? would love opinions/tips :)
