I was wondering will this Dragon Scale survive? This my first time caring for an Alocasia and I accidentally watered it too much and then as I misted it both of the two leaves turned light green because it held the water in. Then the big one as shown here developed those small bumps. Then I thought hey maybe the Neem oil would help it, but unfortunately I STILL didn’t learn that the leaf (eves) could hold liquid and then they both got worse! I’ve already lost two leaves and while it got a “new bud” that one turned yellow and seemed to stop growing! Should I just give up on the plant or should I continue holding on to it seems to still be hang in there?

Hi there! New to trying to keep plants, my friend gave me her black velvet alocasia propagation. Any advice and tips?

Anyone else having success in water with their Alocasia? I switched to water because I was having trouble with soil, they kept dying on me.

Should I mist my alocasia?

Torn between a win and if I should be worried. My black velvet alocasia has produced a flower as well as having a new leaf coming through. I was taking it as a win until the wonderful world of google said that it can flower when under stress. I know I’ve had it a month or so now. Should I be concerned or am I overthinking it as I know they can be fussy with their environments? Thank you for any advice in advance

Why is my Alocasia dropping like this? I have it under a grow light for 8-9 hours a day. 😔

They've been in a sealed glass Tupperware with water only ... thinking of moving them to perlite finally 🌱

Help! My Alocasia melos leaves are rotting. The leaf will turn yellow or dark green then slowly rot away. The roots are good. The soil stays slightly moist. Humidity is good..… so I don’t know
Kayla
Ok wait, do the corms need to be in high humidity or just stay damp?

Can you propagate corms in damp sphagnum moss?
Kayla
Omg omg omg! So many corms in my Polly. I’m excited!!! What’s the best substrate for growing them? I’ve got em in damp perlite right now. Wait. the cute little ice cream scoop pointy side goes up, right?

Can someone pls tell me what these yellow spot looking things are? She has been growing really well and producing leaves fast! However I want to try to fix this issue whatever it is 😭

So does anyone have corms you’d want to trade for a silver dragon corm? I’m wanting to try to grow a new plant from corm but I don’t have many options of plants in my Location. I had someone try to sell me a corm for $40, for a Polly 😑

Update, Hi guys the center is gooey and slimy ant advice?😩🩶🪴

Hi Folks, I’m flummoxed! This doesn’t look like all the images of Corms I’ve seen. They all had a long tail & a ‘slightly Pointed side’. This Pharos Mask Corm has a rounded side & a pointed side. Is the pointed side where I’d expect to see a tail attached to the mother plant? Meaning I’d plant it rounded side up? ‘No. 2’ That just doesn’t look right! However pointed side ‘No. 1’ just doesn’t feel right! #FailingAtTheFirstHurdle 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
