This plant used to be ginormous however all of the leaves started turning yellow around the edges. At that point I thought it was too big and it needed a repot which I did then that turned into a different mess. Now, the leaves are starting to turn yellow again and there are negative zero signs of pests. I water ALL of my plants using using Superthrive Foliage Pro which does contain Calcium and Magnesium, however it has been suggested to added calmag to it. Im scared that would be too much fertilizer. Does anyone have experience qith this? The plant is in pon which sits in a water reservoir. Ambient Humidity sits around 50%-70% with dips down here and there. I check regularly for pests as well as spraying them with 70% rubbing alcohol once per month for prevention. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated

Does anyone else feel such a big sense of success as a plant parent (especially an Alocasia plant parent) when their plant puts out more leaves? I found this today and I’m feeling very happy and successful. I’m happy to know it’s thriving and gifting me new growth.

My red secret loves me too much! How do I get her to stop flowering? 😩 She flowers for me all the time and takes so long to push them out! I don’t get new leaves I just get flowers now!

Any suggestions welcome please! My Melo is sad and the new leaf hasn’t unfurled… Watered last 5 days ago, misted every couple days, 8 hours of grow light per day

Hello! Can someone confirm if this is a dragon scale?

Help with Longiloba Lemon Lime. It has been thriiiiiiving. Now all of a sudden its getting lost a white kind of border on the leaves. I live in Souther California so it doesn't get too cold and normally all of my plants still produce leaves but could this be a dormancy kind of thing? Humidity sits between 50-75%, temperatures have been ranging right now from 55 at night to 82ish during the day. Just like all of my plants, I let them completely dry out in between waterings. And thoughts?

I’m getting a new leaf! Looks like it’ll be small. Will it be darker than the rest of the leaves!? This plant has been treated that’s why the leaves are a much lighter color than the green Alocasia! What can I do to help benefit this little guy!?

Hi there!! I got this Alocasia mortfontanensis. It technically has two plants in it. One of the plants is popping out a new leaf but the other isn’t. Each plant has this going on with its leaves. It’s only two or three leaves for now but I’m wondering what is going on. It only gets part light, I have a humidifier and the temp. in my apartment is 65-70 degrees. My other Alocasia Frydek is doing just fine. I was just wondering if anyone knew what this is?

Look at the two most recent leaves on my dragon scale. It’s such a stunning plant. Probably the jewel of my collection!

Got this Alocasia nebula a while ago(first pic)…now it looks like this (second pic) 💔. Internet says it may need nitrogen? Can anyone confirm or tell me how that even works? She has plenty of moisture but she dropped all of her leaves and gave me this little leaf and hasn’t put out a new one since. Is it because it’s winter?

Sooo my Alocasia used to put out new leaves 25/8, since winter he has been struggling to hold on. I made the decision to do a big chop. How can I help him recover for the summer time? Eli is my favorite plant :(

Finally got some self watering pots so I can take a week away and worry less. Had a repotting frenzy and even got the sprouted corms in. - Norberta (Silver Dragon) dropped another corm in the process. - Moriarty (variegated Frydek) - Odara Batik - 2 sprouted Silver Dragon corms - 1 sprouted Pink Black Velvet corm

I have an alocasia corm and would like to know what side I should plant it on and if I should take off the brown root that it wasn’t connected to its mother plant with. Thank You!

My Alocasia Frydek new leaf is growing quickly! Other leaves are splaying outwards a bit but I guess it's ok?? 😜🤩🌱 Or, should I support the other leaves with a stake or something, or are they ok just reaching wherever they want to go?! 😎🤩🙌🏼

Should I repot my alocasia? I am going to the plant store in two days and want to know if I should get a new pot for it. Thanks!
