Hi guys. I bought this plant from Trader Joe’s a few weeks ago and the soil it was in was god awful so I repotted it and is has slowly lost all of its leaves and I thought maybe it was going to lose just the smaller ones but now it’s losing a bigger one. Any tips? Is the whole plant going to die? Will it come back? Thanks!
I’m new to alocasias, has anyone got any tips for my two new babies? 🥹
i accidentally plant my alocasia corm upside down! and it looked like this. is it gonna be okay? and should i cover with more soil so that the sprout is not visible from the surface? please help thank you!!
In June I switched to semi-hydro with this Alocasia Wentii in a last ditch effort to encourage some more growth. I was just about to throw in the towel when I spotted this. I was so excited and relieved I may have actually ’gasped’! 😊
My silver dragon is very happy and pushing a new leaf. She’s got roots coming from the pot - do I repot or just try to take her out of the pot and place the roots back in? I feel like she’s got more room in the pot for roots.
I need some advice for my Tiny Dancer. She went through a time where she was down to just about 2 healthy leaves. I repotted with better soil (chunky mix), and checked the roots. She perked up a bit and I was starting to have 5-6 healthy leaves at a time. Recently she’s starting to lose more leaves than she’s gaining again. I have her under a grow light (not much natural light in my house) set at 12 hr/day, wait till she’s pretty dry on top to water, and use liquid fertilizer as recommended on Planta. Any advice? Pictures of the current leaves and a couple I pruned off today.
So I went to Bjs to buy food came out with this plant that was screaming for me to buy it. What kind of Alocasia is this? Is it a jewel? I cut the blooms off.
My alocasia Frydek has come back from almost dying over the past winter, put her outside and she perked right up!

Kitchen hack!!! Decided to use a cake display dome for my baby Alocasia Korms and it works like a charm! Keeps the humidity in. I remove the top occasionally and use a paper towel to crack the space to let some air in!
Alocasia jungle in my back yard!!! Aka banana leaf!
Hi! I’m Addicted to alocasia plants!!! Here’s a sneak peak!
I found 9 Maharani corms when repotting. I am completely new to this and idk if I did this right. Now I keep checking them every hour expecting growth 😅. Some videos I’ve watched say it may take months?…… original post in August, update as of today October 24th attached!!!
Just wanna share my excitement that not just one, or even two, but THREE of my alocasia’s are pushing out new growth. First two are my rescue ones (Silver Dragon & Cuprea) and the third is my sweet baby princess (Black Velvet) the very first Alocasia and first plant I brought home. This will be her 12th leaf!!!!! The most leaves I’ve ever had at one time. I am just so proud 🥹 🤗
How do I find the “light meter” on the planta app? I cannot find it on my tabs ? Thanks
Is this a baby!!? Am I having a baby!!? I planted a couple of corms in here when I repotted this gal a few months ago and totally thought they had died 😍
Newest leaf on my Polly!!! She's so gorgeous 😭
My first corm growing!! I can't remember which plant it came from though 🙃
Is she a dragon scale? 😅
Can someone help me identify this alocasia i just got? Her name is Elodie
