I bought this Alocasia the other day and am now getting around to adding it into my app but planta doesn’t seem to be letting me out the species as the one on the tag??? The most accurate appearing option seems to be a ‘lowii’ If it’s mislabeled or someone knows how to fix this please let me know!! I’m determined to have a good Alocasia 🥲my other 2 are hanging on by a thread
i’m gonna die laughing bro my alocasia variegated frydek grew corms and one of them pushed out a leaf with the longest stem ever i’m yodeling bro 😭💔
What’s going on with my regal shield?
Hello! I have three lovely alocasias, which are doing okay… but they’re not thriving. I’m really considering to moving them into leca and moss, but don’t want to disturb them and risk killing them! One has a very droopy yellow leaf that’s going to come off and another has a little bit of a sad one too. Any advice? I’m a fairly beginner plant mother but would love to explore leca and moss if it’s worth it
Got my first alocasia at Walmart a few weeks ago… she had 10 corms!! Why am I more excited about these than the mama plant😂
I was gifted this plant by the owner of my favorite plant store. It’s in moss and under a sensi 10watt grow light. I’d love help on best way to take care of this plant. Also is the leaf deformed or still unfolding?? Thank you!! 🙏
Ok I have a leaf!!! I repeat I have a leaf!! First Alocasia babies I’ve had. What do I do now?? How do I go about moving them? Do I leave them? Help?!
I feel like this app classifies every alocasia as an elephant Ear. Where does the term "Elephant Ear" come from, is it just a common name and not necessarily the scientific name? What kind of Alocasia is pictured below? The app has classified it as an elephant ear.
Falcor’s newest leaf is looking great! The front is beautiful, of course! The back tho!!! I love looking at the light coming thru all of the happy veins! I sit and imagine what it would look like if I was able to see the photosynthesis party that is going on!!!🪴🥳
My Alocasia grew a HUGE leaf!!
Falcor is quickly becoming my favorite! (Don’t tell Herman or Elmer!!!🤫) As an overly protective plant parent the yellow tip has me worried. It is on the back facing smaller leaf…so maybe natural aging!? Does the new leaf in the full plant picture look like it’s on schedule? Thank you for any advice!🪴🤩
What kind of alocasia is this? 🪴 I won it at plant bingo but there are no tags. Thanks!
I dont know what she ate, her leaves have more than doubled in size!! I love this little girl! My 2nd alocasia. She was near dead on the HD discount shelf. Has come such a long way 🥰
My second Alocasia! My plant shop has it labeled as a Lauterbachiana purple sword. Planta doesn’t know that one exists…what should I label it in this app!?
My Longi surprised me with a huuuge leaf size up! I let my alos look out the window so I forget sometimes how amazing they are!!
Just got Falcor yesterday! The newest leaf there, is it only about half as big as it will become? How long do they typically take between new leaves?
My first introduction into the Alocasia world! 🥳🪴 I’d like everyone to meet Falcor!!! He was in the half off section of a great local plant shop here in the Orlando area! Shout out to The Jungle Room by BWH Plant Co!
Today’s score! $15 😍
What method of transplanting will have the highest success rate? I used to have two separate corms with leaves but this is the only one that made it after some problems with mealy bugs and root rot. I’d hate to have this one die after it’s made it this far! 😓
Local store finds. Found the Cuprea at Publix. Found the Dragon Scales and Silver Dragons at Lowe's.
