All of my alocasias are starting to flower at the same time 😳 what are the odds?!

Does anyone have a tried-and-true soil recipe for alocasias? So far I’ve used a potting soil with extra perlite added but I’m considering trying something new, maybe with orchid bark (?). Thanks in advance!

Follow up: I ended up cutting off the sickly leaf and now I have one DRY brown green leaf left. However…in one of the shafts, there looks to be a THIN stingy material. Does this look like a potential growth for a new leaf? I really hope so cuz I bought another green scale alocasia, so I can have it to help cope while this one dies🥺🥺😭 (it can be hard to see so that’s why I circled) I’m unfamiliar to process of how a new alocasia grows since it has thicker leaves.

I have a juvenile colcasia mojito, and need enlightenment please.. I have read that it is normal for colcasias and alocasias to drop a leaf when they put out a new one, at what point does that stop or at least slow down..

Hey everyone! I have two black velvet corms sat in perlite. I was wondering does adding cutting of pothos help corms grow like it can with cuttings or does it not work in the same way? Thank you

I bought this Polly 2 weeks ago and have only watered it once. I let it drain for about 45 mins, and is in a well lit area. The substrate feels mostly like coco coir and it is still wet even though it’s been 9 days since watering. Can someone tell me what’s wrong with my plant baby?

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?

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
