Question: Why is that leaf turning brown? Context: Browning leaf is the only sign of distress. No sign of pests. Watering and liquid fertilizing happens as often as the app suggests â or I snooze the task if the soilâs still wet. I used to have the plant on a shelf a few feet away from the window, where it started to droop and a few leaves died. Itâs been much happier (and put out a new leaf) ever since I moved it to the sill. *I have not checked the roots recently. Maybe thatâs the next move.

I picked this guy up yesterday and heâs not looking so hot. I just watered and it hasnât perked up (about 6 hours). The spots are worrisome. I did just spray and wipe down all the leaves for fear of mites. Any ideas?

I received this cuprea from a friend for christmas. However, in the last month, it has lost 4 leaves. Its remaining leaves seem to be drooping, and I donât know how to stop it. I water it every 7-10 days, and the pot itâs currently in has no drainage. Does anyone have any advice on how I can keep her alive? đ I welcome and greatly appreciate any tips!
Halo

Just got this Maharani, what advice do you all have for me? Iâve got a klingsbo cabinet not weather stripped and each shelf has one barring t5 pink-white light bar. Cabinet stays at about 66% humidity. In soil with rocks on top to help prevent gnats, watered 2-3 days ago fertilized 2 weeks ago.

I have a sprouted Alocasia Baginda (Pink Dragon) corm in a small sauce container with perlite and fluval stratum. I bought it on FB Marketplace and since Iâve brought it home it has done nothing for me. When I brought it home it had one leaf and appears to have another trying to start. Thatâs being said, it hasnât done much of anything. I know something must be wrong with the conditions Iâm providing so Iâm trying to pinpoint whatâs going wrong. For reference, itâs winter where I live (probably not the best time to bring this plant home, I know), we have a Woodstove that makes the ambient humidity 20% so I keep it under a glass jar with water sprayed inside and I let it breathe for about an hour each day. It gets bright indirect light from the window where it sits most of the time and direct sun for the hour that itâs out since I move it to the kitchen when the sun comes in. The new leaf shoot just looks crinkled and isnât growing. Roots looks healthy. I did pull off 6 tiny corms and Iâm trying to get those started just in case this plant doesnât make it. Any advice is welcome.

I have a relatively small dragon scale Alocasia. It had five good leaves on it. My cat ripped off two leaves from the top of the stem. The stems are still intact. Will it regrow leaves at the top of the stems or should I cut them down to the base to have them regrow?

I cleared out another old nursery pot that had long ago been replanted and lo and behold , a A. wentii corm. No bottle caps available so we gotta do what we gotta do to get him going. Cheers lil buddy!

Anyone know of these black spots are Normal on my black velvet? Sheâs always been healthy and pushing leaves and has had them for a while. Theyâre not bugs and I canât actually feel them, I just noticed there were more than I previously thought. Itâs on all the stems and the base and I just wanna make sure.

Is this baby ready to graduate from its long time watery home? If so, what is the very best medium for this plant to grow in? Iâve heard that Alocasias like leca, or something similar, mediums with which I am not familiar. Advice, please! TIAâŠ
