My monster Alocasia After 2 years I finally got this girl to hold onto 3 leaves at a time and that’s where I’ve been for awhile. Until recently and now I’ve awaken a beast! I’m on my 3rd new leaf in 4 weeks. The first one is 29 inches long and 23 inches wide, the second to come in is 33 inches long and 23 inches wide. As you can see the 3rd is currently unfurling!
Hi friends, I’m new to the Alocasia Polly and I was wondering what’s going on with it. I suspect spider mites but I’ve also never had pests before. Some of these white spots look more like pieces of a paper towel left behind from when I rubbed the leaves with watered down neem oil, but I’m not sure. The hole was there when I got the plant. The leaf in the background to the left is curled up on one side and I found a web in it. I removed the web, soaked the plant, rubbed neem oil on all the leaves, and quarantined it away from my plants outside. I live in Maryland, US (including for weather purposes). This is one of my bucket list plants and I’m so scared of losing it! What’s going on? How do I fix it? Thank you! Gray
What is this on Alocasia polly? Doesn’t seem to scratch off
Help! Is this damage from misting and water retention? Humidity around 60%. There is a fan for the plant as well. She’s grown a large leaf in the past 2 weeks and has a shoot for a new one
I originally had a Alocasia Polly and transferred it over to LECA after it had been struggling. I wanted to get rid of the massive bag of LECA and decided to go big or go home. That was a while ago and after losing multiple leaves while transitioning in water, this massive plant has done well since I actually put it into the semi hydro setup. I was checking today and I’m getting my first new leaf!
Birthday present off hubby…. Tips and tricks welcome as no homework done before purchase 😂
Hello everyone, I found corms on my Alocasia Jacklyn which is completely new to me. Any advice or tips here? Just want to make sure I'm doing this right 😊 I have them in these tiny plastic cups with 2-3 corms each. Half are in sphagnum moss and the other half are in perlite. They're currently in a South facing window that does get some direct sunlight throughout the day
Just upsized her to a 05” from a 04” & that new leaf looks like it’s gonna be a juicy one! 🤩
Need some help I have Alocasia corms that are already bloomed, should I I take them out and plant them??
Some of my favorite Alocasia leaves currently!
I love my Alocasias✨️
Hi! I got my first Alocasia two weeks ago. I can see that she is getting ready to produce a new leaf and I'm noticing that the oldest one is starting to turn yellow and droop. I've heard that alocasias can do this when a new leaf is emerging. Is this something that is always going to happen, or is there a way to help her get fuller?
My first venture into alocasia! A. Polly and A. Melo
This newest leaf is just over 17"; wowza! She has been growing so much lately with each leaf just getting bigger and bigger. #HappyPlant #HappyPlantDad
Flowers?
Check out the growth on my silver dragon producing 2 “flowers” over the summer. Growing in pon on a plant wall I have a number of corms from this mother also doing well - let’s hope they hold out during the winter!
Why are so many leaves dropping on my new frydek? Help please!
Hi Thanks to this app and this community I was able to start to grow my Alocasia Amazonica corms. Now after long months of waiting and experimenting they are finally here. What should I do now that I have mini Alocasia’s coming up?? I don’t really want to mess it up???? There’s 4 of them (one is still has not come up)
Pray for this baby who I just moved to pon. She’s been isolating for a month. Her roots looked GREAT! I’m a little worried she’s getting too much light (a little lightening near the edges) BUT also seems to reach toward the light. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
