My regal shield albo just put out its 3rd white leaf. The first 2 white ones do have tiny specks of green but not much. Do I need to chop her back? 🥲

Question here, once the flowers are done blooming (as you can see in the middle) should I cut them off or leave them?

I am trying my first semi hydro on this alocasia and now his oldest leaf is leaning down REALLY hard. The petiole is extremely firm and he refuses to allow me to lift it back to the natural position as if it wants to be looking at the floor. The leaves are yellowing slightly but the new leaf is doing fine. The brown spots were there when I bought it at the store. Does anybody have any advice for what the deal is with this drama queen or how I can help the plant?

Wondering if we need to separate the smaller growth. She was last repotted in June.

Pruned my elephant ear a bit and gave the leaves a good wipe down. I’ve had him for almost 3 years now & he spawned this second guy 6 months ago. No one at the nursery warned me how fast these things grow. I feel like I’m living in Alien but with plants😂

My pink Nobilis put out this weird bronzy silvery leaf. Is this bad? Previous leaves were much more pink. She's been in the same cabinet since I got her a few months ago. This leaf is much larger and taller than previous ones.

Look at her glistening and posing! Success with self watering. I still need a name for her

My first successful scalprum corm! I've only gotten a couple and they've always "melted" and died off. FINALLY!! Happy dance!! ❤️

My Ally is set to come next week from 1800 Flowers. Any tips and tricks for a first time Ally mom. PSA: I heard all about the mites and I am prepared with some products😉

When should I move this little buddy to its own little pot? I’ve never grown from corms before (and I was doubting it would even work!) so I haven’t thought this far! Thanks!

I got this Alocasia Polly Mint about 3 weeks ago and repotted her (first photo is when I first brought her home). She’s looking pretty rough now and the Planta app says it’s transplant shock. I don’t see any bugs, webs or crawling specs but I’m genuinely so terrified of thrips. I have quite the regime when I bring plants home to prevent them. Can anyone attest this truly is transplant shock and or have any tips? I’ve never dealt with it before!

So alocasias and I don’t get along so I don’t buy them but somehow this one snuck in to my collection. My question is: what is it called? This app is all over the place. Thanks!

Hi all, got this stunning Alocasia about 2.5 weeks ago. It was in a tiny pot so repotted him and since then he’s pushed out a new leaf (see small leaf in images). I can only assume the new leaf post potting means it is settling in well, but I’m concerned at how much the 2 leaves either side drooping so much. East facing window gets lovely direct-light in the morning but post 10am it’s more indirect. Are these just dramatic plants? Or something I could be changing? All leaves feel great, no discolouring, or crispiness etc

Hi lovely plant lovers! I have this elephant ear dark star plant but I don’t know why, she keeps changing the leaves. Drops the oldest and get new one right away, but I can’t seem to make it more than 3-4 leaves at a time. I repotted 4-5 months ago but still does the same. Any idea and what can I do to make her keep the leaves?
