hey all! i swear my polly mom hates me. so she’s produced corms and I’ve sprouted them perfectly. mom on the other hand feels like she’s losing the will to live. she used to be much fuller but over the past two months she let go of 4 leaves. when i first got her she had two flowers (which i cut off because i was very new at being a plant parent but now i realized i should’ve just left them) and that made her drop two leaves. i left for a long weekend in june and she got upset and said good bye to two more leaves. nooooow she’s upset again and is letting go of two more leaves. do you think these leaves are going because two new flowers are emerging or she hates me cause i stole her babies and they’re doing amazing without her? i’m joking about plant baby-napping. i water her when the top two inches are dry and I’ve checked her roots and they look fine. it does take her about two weeks for the top two inches to dry so maybe she’s not draining fast enough? any advice is greatly appreciated. i don’t wanna give up on mamacita!

Just picked this lady up…do you guys think these spots from over watering? There’s like four plants in this 6inch pot and the soil seems a little dense.

So I’ve had this alocasia for about 6 months and it keeps dropping leaves when new ones grow. it has put out several new leaves but also lost several. and it starts with these spots. i’ve been following plantas care schedule. is this normal or is there something wrong?

Any ideas why my longiloba popped out this leaf? It has been open for almost two weeks now

I got two new alocasias today (I think). They weren't labeled. Any idea what kinds?

I’ve struggled so much with alocasia frydek. This is my second one and she just lost all her leaves. Is there a way I can revive her?

SOS! I've had this Scalprum in perlite for months & got used to checking & finding zero progress. But yesterday when I gave it a tug I felt roots which was shocking given that the tip I had above the perlite was still completely closed. So I pulled it out and now I'm thinking I planted it upside down? What should I do now? Replant with roots/growth up?

So proud of my Jacklyn pushing out leaf number 3 😊… does anyone know how many leaves these can have at one time as it’s only ever had a max of 3 since I got it in September last year x

I did a huge chop and prop last year on my Micholitziana. When I repotted, I didn't cover the entire stalk with pon because I wasn't sure if it would get stem rot or not. She is starting to grow so my question is:1) Should I just fill the rest of the planter up with pon to help her develop more,stronger roots. OR 2) Do I gig her up and just fill the bottom with more pon and let her develop roots that way?

I am not an alocasia expert by a long shot, but this frydek (I’m pretty sure that’s what she is) has been doing great! I just moved three months ago and it just put out a big new leaf about two weeks ago! I had to go away for about 10 days so she didn’t get watered :( and now the new leaf looks like this. Could it still be forming? Or is it a water issue? I checked the roots and some are poking out the bottom of the pot and they look very healthy, no rot. Does anyone have any idea?💚

Help! My Black Velvet Pink Variagated Alocasia is curling! At first I thought it was forgot to water it or something but the soil was still moist. Can it be too much light? Few other Alocasia started turning their leaves down or on the side. They were doing fine for months and then out of nowhere most of my plants in the grow cabinet started acting weird

How do you guys get your alocasia to grow large and not just die in the winter till the next summer? i live in southern ontario, is that just what’s gunna happen to them?

How big do these guys normally get? The longest stem is about 26” long and they just keep growing! Do they ever need a support stick? Does it need to be re-potted? I don’t want to mess anything up, when I bought it, it was 1/3 this size (early May) and the largest leaf was less than 1/3 the size (now bigger than my hand).

A little baby alocasia!!!! omg!!!!

We went to the greenhouse just to look. This is my first alocasia. My husband convinced me to buy it, though he didn’t have to try very hard. I really hope I can keep it thriving.

At LONG LAST…Boa Celestine grew her new leaf🥹❤️😆😄

I think I posted my polly before, as I was so happy to have a new leaf from her. She was trouble from day 1, took me a long time to figure her out!! I almost tossed her several times... long story short, she was repotted recently and I braved propagating the corms... she gave me 6 total. All 6 have rooted, and I've got two sprouted!! This is a first for me!! I've never propagated any thing other than leaf cuttings. I'm so tickled!!
