I bought these beauties on sale for $10!! BUT!! Im thinking they should be separated? Not sure why they would be on sale but I do want to take great care of these of course! Any suggestions or tips ?

Hi, I just got my first Colocasia Mojito today. The leaves look a little droopy, but overall the plant seems healthy. It was too big for its pot, and the weight was causing the stem to bend, which even pushed some roots out of the soil. I decided to repot it, though I’m not sure if that might stress the plant further. Any advice would be greatly appreciated—thank you!

Alocasia Reginea has a flower. I’m in Tampa, FL and thought it was going to die.

It originally had 3 leaves. Dropped down to one. It was doing great, got a new leaf, and bam! The stem is still firm. Normal alocasia thing?

Hi! I just ordered and received this baby Alocasia and she’s not looking very happy - any tips on helping her acclimate? She’s getting enough light and I think the watering is fine, so not sure what to do

Hey everyone, I just got my first Alocasia and I heard that they thrive best in Semi-Hydroponic but I didn’t know if a Tiny Dancer would be the same. Looking for advice and tips please and thank you 🫶🏽

I got my first alocasia last weekend. Are these aerial roots? New roots? New leaves?

uh oh. Did I plant the corm upside down?? And if so, should I plant it back the same way? I have about 10 or 15 corms from different Alocasias in grow boxes n haven’t seen something like this yet.. This guy went into a large clear medicine bottle to grow more because of the roots being so long, I just planted it roots side down - now it’s got a little tail (or neck maybe?) making me second guess myself 🤣 Thoughts, comments, feelings below thank you:)

Hi! My black velvet has flowered earlier this week & i've seen people saying that you should cut them back so it focuses on new leaf growth. Is there a point at which i should do this?
