Omg this guy is killing me! For the 2nd time Iāve found thrips . I first got it as a tiny starter then noticed the leaves getting droopy & yellow & after looking at it noticed little guys walking around . I treated it got rid of them & hadnāt found any on any other plants . That was last winter. Today I look at it & see yellow & other spots so put it up to a grow light & omg there they are ! Itās been growing looking good growing new leaves so hadnāt thought much about it . I cut off the janky leaves & soaked it in a Castile soap alcohol & peroxide mix ( liquiddirt recipe itās actually supposed to be a spray š) & visually they are gone at least for now.Iām not worried about soil issues because I have had it in Pon since I got it . It seems like itās only this plant wth is it with this freaking plant ? Donāt get me wrong Iām glad I havenāt found it spreading but omg !

I was so exited when this leaf came out itās the biggest one so far . I got this plant a few months ago with the plant healthy but the leaves being deformed . Itās perfect! š I thought Iād post a pic of my new cuprea leaf as well . The coloring is a little off because of the lighting rt now but look how shiny š„¹

I just wanted to brag on this plant. I got it in July where Iāve actually neglected it a bit, but it has thrived and given me such massive leaves and so much new growth. It had one leaf and one that was starting to unfurl when I got it and it has just done incredible. Itās given me 5 new leaves and that is absolutely massive since July. New pictures were taken today and hand picture for size reference.

I know the smallest leaf is yellowing but why is the other leaf drooping so much? š„ŗ is it bc of the new leaf coming in orrrr?

what do alocasia like more humidity or high light? i have mine currently in my bathroom in my shower, which has the same window as my bedroom itās just smaller and the bottom half has a filter over it so it defuses the light. iām wondering if they would be happier in my bedroom that has my best window for light. i have a black stem, jacklyn and sliver dragon. Thanks!! first is the bathroom second is bedroom, i know i donāt have much light in a general but im trying to make it work.

My elephant ear has given me a seed pod. I only know thatās what it is because I thought it was having a hard time unfurling a leaf so I went out there with a q-tip and warm water to help, and wellā¦found seeds. What do I do now!?

So I have this Alocasia Wentii (I think thatās what it is) but Iām having this issue of every time it put out a new leaf the old one will die off. I cannot for the life of me figure out why, can someone help? I have it quarantined rn just incase it has pest but itās been a week and I have not seen anything. Iāve had it for about 6 months now and 3 of its leaves have died off. Please help.

Hi all, I just received a few Alocasia plants. A Black Velvet, a Melo and a Mickey Mouse. I have been doing a ton of research and Iām having some confusion with humidity and light. I have read some that say north or east facing windows are great. Some say west. I am also considering artificial lighting for ease of location rather than finding a window. For humidity, I live in Colorado where itās pretty dry. I currently have them on a pebble dish with water, but Iām not sure thatās enough. I do have large glass vases and thought about putting a pebble dish in them with the alocasia sitting inside of them. Iām just not sure. I am open to all and any suggestions. Humid plants are pretty new to me and I want to make sure Iām doing it correctly.
