Hi all! I have a lil baby Odora Batik that has suddenly started dropping leaves after a new one popped in. No changes in location/humidity/temp, etc. I was reading it normal for immature plants to lose leaves once a new one pops in- is that the case?
Repotted my Alocasia odora today, and ended up finding three cormlets! Iām excited to try my hand at propagating these little nuggets, wish me luck that they grow up as handsome as their dad!
Is this scale? I donāt remember there being so many spots
Hi everyone! Iām new to plants, and oddly have had success with Alocasias so far. Iām obsessed with them at this pointš My Jacklynās growth has been insaneš„¹ Sunday vs. today Just wanted to share š¤
Any advice on potting these beauties? Theyāve been growing since June and Iām nervous.
Why?? Nothing has changed and itās not over/under watered :/
I need help with my first Alocasia! I picked him up about two weeks ago, repotted about one week ago. He has a new leaf coming in but heās already killed his first leaf to the point it fell off. I know thatās kind of what they do when growing new leaves to be able to get enough nutrients but heās now almost killed a second leaf and almost halfway through the third. The biggest leaf also has a starting spot on it too! I fertilized him last watering. I hope Iām not killing him!
Iām so excited about my A. Macrorrhiza Camouflage!! Heās already unfurling a new leaf! Will the next leaf be as tall as the current tallest one? Just trying to plan space wise!
Good morning plant friends! Does anyone mix their own soil mix for their alocasias/monsteras? If so, what are your ratios? I have an alocasia dawn and a thai constellation and I need to repot. Thanks in advance!
Can I put my elephant ear alocasia in lecca? Or is that a bad idea? Need help badly
I had to repot my Alocasia Silver Dragon and found these corms. What is the best way to propagate these?
My question: Is the lighter green color on the right side from it not fully hardening yet?? The left one had the same color & eventually went away, this one just seems to be hanging on to it longer. I just want to make sure Iām not giving it too much light.
Hi all, Iām new to the Planta community and i wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with this type of alocasia. It was gifted to me and the person said it was a variegated alocasia dawn but Iād like to get everyoneās input. I tried adding it to my plant list but I couldnāt find it.
PLLLLSSS I got so excited when I saw this on my college campus!! Itās giving such strong Alocasia vibes but Iām also shocked it would be here? Anyone know what this is? šš
Hey guys! So I purchased 2 Miloās at Walmart tonightā¦ they look good I didnāt see any signs of pests or diseasesā¦ got them home and something told me to check one of the new leaves that one was pushing out that hadnt totally unfurled. (One in middle of this pic) Of course I ripped it a bit opening it but Iām glad I didā¦ the green gods mustāve been on my side telling me to check it, cause there were a lot of tiny clear bugs. They werenāt moving at all but I wiped them all off, rinsed that leaf with water, and sprayed it with neem oil. Theyāre both upstairs separate from my other plants. What do you think those were, baby spider mites? They looked like mealy bugs honestly but those have always been white in my experience. Iām gonna let them acclimate for about a week and then Iāll repot by throwing out the soil, rinsing everything with water, and then placing in cups of water for another few weeks before putting in a self watering pots with pon. Would you guys do anything differently? I did also get an anthurium flamingo lily thatās the most healthy Iāve EVER seenā¦ but once home I noticed a tiny spider web on top of soilā¦ nothing in the web though. I placed it upstairs tooā¦ Iāll most likely change its soil but I didnāt want to put it in water or pon because mine havenāt done well in either so far so I was going to put it in aroid soil. Do you think it couldāve just been a coincidence? Because seriously it looks so healthy. So confusing.
Repotting my Alocasia & wanted to try growing these corms. The last time I tried the corms rotted on me ā¹ļø I added perlite to the moss this time, hopefully it helps. Iāll put the lid on the container to maintain humidity & put it underneath a grow light.
I just repotted my elephant ear and I found it had over 20+ corms!!! Does anyone have any tips on how to grow them? I did a little research however not sure if perlite is the only thing you can use to grow them? Something easier perhaps (Iām a little broke and lazy lol)
My Alocasia isnāt doing so greatāit started out with 6 leaves and has lost 3! Im trying to increase the light by adding a grow light, and Iām not watering too much. Does anyone have any advice that might help me keep this big guy alive? Iāve only had him a few monthsā¦.
Hi all, Iāve had this little black velvet alocasia since October and itās very persnickety. Iāve repotted it, tried keeping it in a bag for humidity, put it under a grow light, and nothing seems to help. It grows one leaf then drops another. I water it approximately every 2 weeks and have fertilized it maybe 1-2 times since I got it. Itās in a 2ā pot in an east-facing window. Thanks!
I got this plant a couple weeks ago and itās been the most temperamental pain in the butt. Any advice on what it needs? Itās been watered and gets plenty of sun. Iāve tried putting it in a couple of places in my living room but once it started wilting it canāt seem to get better. The leaves are all pretty crispy too but the soil is wet so Iām at a loss! Thanks in advance šš»
