2 leaf different, upsizing like crazyyyy. Cuprea is definitely one of my favorites
My Alocasia gave me a beautiful new leaf and is working on another!
My new babies! In love!!!!
My first corm baby! 😍🤩😍🤩 Three of eight more are looking pretty good too! Could be Jacklyn, Polly, or Melo. I’m thinking Melo 😃
I won a mystery corm on a Whatnot app auction. The corm is already in a corm cup, and it has been doing great with one exception. It looks like the roots and the plant are all coming from the one end. The other end of the corm isn’t growing anything at all. This really IS a mystery. Has this ever happened to anyone else? And if so, what do I do about it? Anything?
my var. frydek is popping out this super white baby leaf!! i’m gonna see how long it lasts, i’ll cut it if i have to but very reluctantly 😭 so pretty!
My alocasia polly has a bud coming out of a flower stem I cut off. Is this a leaf or another flower? This plant was a rescue and already dropped one leaf and flowered, which I cut off. If it's a flower, would love some advice. It has a humidifier. I think it may do better in the summer when we stop getting these temperature fluxuations. My house does get down to 65 F.
Found this at the same shop on sale for $12 <3
Just got this variegated Frydek less than a month ago, and the first leaf it gave me is all white with the tiniest speck of green. 😆 To cut or not cut? That is the question.
🌿 Feeling accomplished today! Alocasia and I have always had a complicated relationship — I’ve lost that battle more times than I can count. But THIS is the first one I’ve ever managed to keep alive past the month mark, and I couldn’t be prouder! 🙌🏼 To top it off… I didn’t even know they could flower — and it smells absolutely amazing! ☺️ Proof that persistence (and maybe a little luck) pays off! 🌸 #HappyPlantDad #AlocasiaLove #PlantWin #NewPlantParent #PlantCommunity #GreenThumb
first new leaf on my baby frydek! the other one is shooting out a ghost leaf, but i think that one will have to go, because that stem only has one other itty bitty leaf 🙈
My Black Velvet started to emerge its first flower 🌸 and a new leaf at the same time! (Second photo is from a month ago, but really shows off the rest of the leaves) 🌿
Obsessed with the newest largest leaf on my mint Alocasia Dragon Scale 💚
Shes so beautiful 😍😍
Hi! I got a few small alocasias in February that I’m a little worried about, i originally kept all of them in my indoor greenhouse but it seemed like a few of them didn’t appreciate it (I wasn’t sure if it was the humidity, sun intensity, or my watering schedule) either way I took them out and out them with my main group of plants (I believe the window they are in is east/ southeast) I water them about once a week (I let the water run through the bottom and put them back) and keep my greenhouse pretty humid during the day (I let it air out at night as i haven’t gotten around to ordering any fans for it) but now that they aren’t in there the humidity is definitely less. I have a few older ones that are doing fine in my greenhouse and even one of the baby’s is still in there doing well though so I’m just a little confused. Do you all have any advice for these specific ones as they are doing the worst out of my collection. (Also sorry for the long paragraph I have a hard time deciding what’s important and what’s not lol) Thank you in advance!
Found this one on sale $44 to $10!!! My first one 🌞
Progress Update! :D Months ago I had posted here seeking advice about my alocasia frydek that had started drooping dramatically because I moved it a foot. After a long struggle of it completely dying back, it has been a slow journey growing back, and it's finally back to three leaves lmao (ignore the crispy little calathea, we don't talk about her)
I am so beyond excited that I found this beauty at home depot. I was about to leave and she caught my eye
I have my 1 year old elephant ear, whom I have a love-hate relationship with. I’ve grown her from a bulb and had a maximum of three leaves at a time on her. Right now I’m down to one, the newest, and I just noticed that there is a mushroom that’s sprouted in her pot. The naturalist in me says leave it- let’s see what else happens in this mini ecosystem. But I’m concerned I’d be letting it take nutrients from the plant in such a small setting. Any thoughts?
So I potted my alocasia Amazonia is the wrong soil Friday. Is it too soon to fix it? I don’t want to shock the plant. Someone help!😩
