I adoooore the light pink shimmer when light hits my alocasia ‘cuprea’ 🥹✨ pictured with and without flash to show just how reflective these dazzling leaves are! Side note — I thrifted this rattan planter for $2 over the weekend, in case anyone gives a hoot 🤣

Hey all! I just got two new variegated alocasia frydek babies in the mail today. I’m pretty good with philodendrons and monsteras, but I’m 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, she’s 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)

I’m 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 😭). 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? I’m not sure what to do? I have never had a plant do this (I do know they make corms).

Question - why do the small leaves get droopy if the rest of the plant looks healthy? This is my second small leaf in a week to droop :(

I posted yesterday how I was excited that I found BOGO Alocasia in my local grocery store and I am excited, but it’s also sad how they aren’t really treated well there. I repotted the four I got yesterday and they all had good roots, but 3/4 were completely root-bound and my silver dragon was starting to get root rot. It just makes me sad to think that they either get completely passed up or bought and neglected (a lot of times).

Still cannot believe this was a rescue! Now she seems to be thriving.

Just received this Alocasia bisma as a gift. Good roots and changed to a chunkier soil. This is my first Alocasia (i’ve been scared to buy one lol) so any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!! 🌱
