HELP!! how do i help her ?? It’s a Alocasia Mickey Mouse..
Any help? I was given this plant and I’m not sure it’s healthy!
So these are my first two alocasias - Silver dragon and Reginae - and each has one leaf that is bending/folding the “wrong way”… I think? Is this normal for them to do this? Both plants seem to be happy and healthy (minus a couple little places on the tips of the leaves), but if they shouldn’t be doing this, what do I do to help correct it?
Any idea what this is I bought it this way but it has gotten worse so I clipped it. What a beautiful plant.🤍🪴
Anyone know where to buy Alocasia corms?
Didn’t plan on getting another plant today but found this little Maharani that had corms growing off the plant today and couldn’t pass it up. Ended up getting this along with 7 corms all for the price of one 😎!
Soo I was switching out my soil for a lot of my plants to a more chucky mixture and I found some sliver dragon corms and I’m so happy my first Alocasia babiess two of them already have good roots as well
Would love some advice please.. I’m fairly new to Alocasia’s and purchased this beautiful Stingray almost a month ago, It seems to be doing well and has recently sprouted two new leaves! I have never kept a plant in stratum & water before. What do I do about repotting when the time comes? I am fine keeping her in the stratum or transferring her to soil if needed but I’m not sure how that process would work or which one would be better. She seem really happy in the stratum. How would I go about moving her to a larger container of it when the time comes. I don’t want to ruin her! TIA & Happy Easter!
Hi there, I repotted my dragon scale to an aroid mix after over a year of being in typical potting soil. I also noticed that it started to get brown spots. Now that it’s in a new mix, it looks like it’s not liking it. Not sure what to do next? Help please
Help!!! I’ve been putting my alocasias in water to transition them to pon . It’s been going just fine until today I noticed the tip of a few of the corms are rotting. My Variegated frydek, Polly, Silver Dragon, and Dragons Breath all are having this issue. For now I put less water in so it doesn’t touch the rotten bottom of the corm. Except the Veriegated frydek, I put that one in a mix of fluval stratum, pon, & perlite. Should I take it out and place it in water too with the water not touching the very bottom? Problem is the plant is very tall and I’m not sure how to keep it from touching the water! It only has one leaf so nothing will grip to the jar I use, it will just fall straight in. Any info would be great because I have read numerous places that alocasia do not rot in water! I’m so frustrated.
hi everyone! here's my first ever alocasia :) just picked up this baby silver dragon and i would love some tips on how to better care for it. (previous owner already had it planted in pon)

Hi Plant heads I got my red scarlet Alocasia and one of the leaves was like this. Any ideas what it is do I leave it alone? Thank you.🤍🪴
New baby, best advice for my 1st hard to care fore plant?🤍🪴
Any help on what to do about my black velvet leaf hanging? It’s always been like this, but I’ve tried rotating it slight recently haven’t given enough time, but any other suggestions?? It’s still very strong, like it wants to be there, not a wilting feeling. Also, should I be cutting off dry leaves around the stem. I kept its bloom there as well. And how should I keep the corns? There’s 3 Thanks!!
New leaf on the Melo 😍
Hi All I’m looking for advice on how to properly care for an Alocasia Jaclyn. I think I I got myself in too deep as a beginner lol. I got her a couple months ago repotted her and placed her a foot or more under grow lights. I ended up scorching the tips of her leaves and killing the youngest leaf that had just come in. I am so sad. Since then she seems stable but not doing much of anything. How can I get her to be happier?
Ok so I keep getting conflicting info when I look up symptoms for curling leaves. In your experience does this look like over watering ….under? I recently tried to convert to pon which is when this started. I checked the roots they are good . I have it in a shallow bit of water until I can figure out what to do .
I just repotted my elephant ear and noticed some growth nodes on the stem. I got some keiki paste this week, so I popped some on the nodes, but I didn’t cut them. Will it do anything, or do I need to notch the nodes? I don’t want to do any damage while it’s doing so well.
My Sliver Dragon has a new leaf unfurling I’m so happy he is dropping one other leaf for it but I’m not mad because he seems to be happy!!
