The new leaf on my dragon scale is open. It’s the most stunning leaf I’ve ever had on my plants. Also, I had a question about my mint dragon scale. A beautiful new leaf was growing in and started to unfurl before it had fully pushed out from where it forms. It got stuck and was trying to unfurl but couldn’t. I tried to help get it out but unfortunately broke it off. I was so mad at myself. Has anyone ever had that happen? Should I have left it alone? Would it eventually have been able to get unstuck on its own? Will it be able to grow new leafs? Update: I can see a new leaf starting in the Mint Dragon Scale so I’m ver relieved that it should be ok!

I repotted my Polly today and found so many presents! What on earth do I do with them? The tiny one up top is from my Caladium (Hilo) but all the big ones are from the Polly 😍😍😍 help!

Help! I’ve had this Polly for 2 months (lost some smaller after I first got it) and still haven’t gotten the hang of things. The other leaves are okay right now but this is the first big leaf to get upset.

Hi, my alocasia leaves flopped off this morning and were mushy. I removed the stems and cleaned them off. What should I do now to get the leaves to come back?

Hi everyone!! Does anyone else have a tiny dancer and have any views on whether my 'Elton' looks healthy?! It's my first time with an alocasia and I think I've got a bit of a diva on my hands 💃🌱

Hello! I just received my very first alocasia scalprum. She is very sad from her journey and I want to do everything I can to make sure she bounces back. Right now, she is still in her starter plug which appears to be in some sort of biodegradable mesh. The plug is moist but not wet. I have her sitting under a grow light surrounded by other more mature plants. This is my first time buying a starter plant and first time with an alocasia. Any recommendations for care? Thanks in advance!
