Someone near me has an Alocasia Black Zebrina for sale for 25 bucks. It looks to be about 2-3ft tall. Is this a good price?

An interesting new leaf coming out half-moon on my new mojito colocasia ☺️ I guess this leaf won’t have the typical purple-ish mojito spots, but it still looks cool!

new leaf!! when i got this guy at the end of september, he only had 3 leaves. now he has 6!

My Jacklyn is fairly new to me (1 month) and all of its leaftips have turned yellow and shriveled. It shouldn’t be an overwatering thing, but maybe a stress/adjustment issue?

Can someone explain the yellow variegated leaf on my Mikey mouse Alocasia? The other two are white and seem healthy, but this one is bright yellow but I don’t understand why and if it’s something to worry about. Thank you!!

Hi! I recently got an Alocasia Bambino (I think). Any tips on how to keep it alive would be greatly appreciated!

What is this growing from the center of my Colocasia? I don’t think it’s a new leaf, the new leaf would come from the stem of the newest leaf that’s in the far right of the close up image. Unless I’m wrong and they can grow more leaves from the center and not just the stem of another. I’ve been googling and the best I can think of is it’s starting to grow a flower? But I think it’s too young to be growing one. Background, I did save this plant. All its leaves were dead and growing one new leaf still in its sheath when I got it. So the four leaves it has is what it had grown under my care. So technically it’s older than what it looks, but still questionable if it could even flower with just four leaves.

Baby variegated frydek 🥹 doing an experiment have two in semi hydro and one still in the sphagnum prop box to see which is better. So far the semi hydro has unfurled faster

This was my first Alocasia. What started out as a plant that I almost killed in the first week has turned into this; I absolutely love her! However, the baby plants are now sprouting babies and there are corms galore popping up on the surface of the Pon. Would it harm the main plant(s) if I cut/snapped/break off the smaller plants as they pop up? Not sure how many more I can handle let alone how many more that planter can handle lol

Hi guys! Not sure what to do.. is it getting too much sun or that’s too much water? I check soil before watering and I don’t water it too often. :(((

Need suggestions!! Should I chop and start over? My zebrina has been growing in the same spot for over a year. She was getting partial sun/shade and constantly pushing out new leaves. All of sudden, her leaves are curling upside down (like she’s getting too much light). Her stems are still very healthy and her roots look great. I have since moved her to a less sunny spot, but her leaves don’t seem to be turning back.

Hey Plant Fam- I have a baby Amazonica Polly Aurea that I'm struggling with for a couple of months now; It is the only Alocasia that I have ever had a problem with. Anything special about the care of this particular species that I should know that's different? The temperature ranges from 65-85 degrees, has a grow light on for 12hrs a day and the humidity averages about 65%. I have a baby Dragon Scale Albo and baby Variegated Silver Dragon in the same growing conditions and they are thriving. Thoughts? Thanks in advance

Any advice for potting medium for my Jacklyn? I just found her and she’s in plain soil but I don’t want to repot right before winter? Should I go for it or let her sit in the nursery pot until spring, or is the soil she’s in now fine?
