Got my hands on a variegated silver dragon scale today. It has very slight variegation but I’m so happy with it regardless!

hello all, today i am picking up a Alocasia mickey mouse and Alocasia cupera! Any tips for these guys? I’ve got my chunky soil mix ready and support dowels.

Hi hi! How do we feel about moss pole for supporting floppy regal shields? Mine is super happy but I used a moss pole to support, but I’ve heard conflicting data. 🌱🫧

so i want to transfer my alocasia over to leca as i’ve been having trouble keeping her happy. i want to get this pot because it has the option to hang. i’m looking for input on the self watering feature though, should i pot in leca in the white insert and keep water level below the pot? or should i scrap that and just use the clear plastic? or is it a bad idea all together to use plastic😅i’m new to alocasias this is my first one and i’ve been able to keep her alive but she isn’t thriving. soo i guess should i get this pot or just use a glass vase?

I have a new Frydek Variegated… it came from a corm and was given to me in leca. I’ve potted it in well draining soil and have a humidifier near it. The one leaf still looks crispy on the edge. Am I doing something wrong? Any tips? It’s in the west facing window.

Anyone know what kind of alocasia this is? I cant quite tell i thought it may be a polly but I'm not sure?

I almost killed this big guy when I first brought him home. It took months to get him healthy again after dropping 4 leaves, but I checked on him this morning and was delighted to find new growth!!! Eeyore is putting out a new leaf!!!

My elephant ear is working on its fifth leaf without dropping any old ones! Lush! It does want to lean a bit (hence the stick) so I wonder if it needs a deeper pot.

Hey guys! I have had this little plant for about a week, and the bottom leaf is yellowing? Does anyone have an insight? I have only watered it once and it lives in a humid area of the house and has been misted a couple times. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!

My local plant store had just unboxed these! How’d I do for a first time alocasia purchase?

I’m not sure what’s happening to my Alocasia’s leaf? Does anyone know what’s wrong with it and how to prevent or cure it? Thank you! I don’t want this to happen to the other leaves too 😭

hey guys!! i know i have a low humidity issue due to being in not so ideal conditions and having to have my plant stand up against a radiator, im starting a pebble tray but i wanted to ask, does there have to be pebbles? or can i just leave it like this?

Of course after being so proud of how well my silver dragon was doing, this happened 😭 Any suggestions? Should I just bite the bullet, cut the leaves off and start over? ❤️‍🩹 I really want to try to save it since a lot of the leaves seem to have spots of variegation, including the baby I pulled from it..!

does anyone have a mickey mouse that’s thriving? if so, what is your secret? when i got this plant a couple months ago, she had 4 tall, healthy leaves that soon all started to droop. i chopped two of her leaves off that were basically on the ground & she grew 2 more back, but then the older remaining leaves started to droop too. she was planted in peat, which i didn’t disturb at first but then i wondered if it was holding too much water. so i eventually chopped those last leaves, repotted her & removed the death plugs i found, then potted her in molly’s aroid mix. she seemed to thrive after that & grew two MORE leaves (she grows fast at least) but now one is looking like its about to droop off again. what do you want from me, girl??? 😩😂 she’s consistently in bright indirect light near a window & even gets some light from my b.o.p.’s light. i water her with planta’s help, when she’s about 60-70% dry. anyone have any advice?

If you start a corm off in soil, can you switch it to hydro once it develops leaves? Or would that kill it since it’s used to soil?

Picked this beauty (in the front) up off the Lowe’s discount rack today. Can’t figure out which variety it is! The tag said it’s an elephant ear, but after looking at photos, nothing really matches. Thanks in advance!

Can yall help me identify these alos? The app says they’re both dragon scale but they look so different. I wasn’t looking for plants today, but i saw them at Walmart for $17. There was no way i was passing them up 😅
