Alas. My Mythic Sinuata has a serious issue. 😳
She was doing great. But I added a grow light, and I’m thinking I put it too close. In just two days I lost a leaf. I moved that grow light, but a couple of days later, lost another leaf. As I was checking the stem, the whole thing just kinda popped off in my hand.
Then I thought maybe she had root rot. But no. The roots looked good. There were several (corms?). One as big around as my index fingernail, three or four more as big as a small pea.
I stuck them all (along with the roots that were attached to them) into a pot with soil.
Did I do the right thing? Or should they go into water to propagate? Any other suggestions!

I got this Alocasia Bisma in the mail a couple days ago, I removed the peat and put it in soil and it seems to be doing ok… for now. Any recommendations? I always damage my Alocasia back down to the corm 😬 no problem growing it back but when they have leaves they hate me

My little alocasia that my friend gave me as seeds. And then 1 or my 3 leaves died and the newest sprout dried up 😭 Any advice for caring for these beauties?

Can someone tell me which alocasias these are? The stem picture is for the one with the light green leaf. The darker one I know is supposed to be a darker green/burgundy color once matured. Forgot to use Apple photos to identify the darker one because I chopped off its bad leaves, and it can’t identify the lighter one.

What is your favorite growing medium for alocasias?
I’m thinking I’d like to repot this one into pon — curious how you all have seen the most success with growing these beauties.

Just posting my dragon scale because she’s so pretty

My pink dragon has been in my collection for about two or three years, for so long she was only holding two leaves at a time! She is a trooper for clinging to life as I figured out how to keep plants alive in these last few years. She is a symbol of how far I’ve come!

How does everyone take care of their corms?

This lovely lady, newly sprouted from a corm from my big momma plant. 🩷

Does anyone think the yellowing edges likely due to a nitrogen/fertilizer deficiency? I don’t see any pests or issues.

Hi everyone! My alocasia elephant ear × polly needs urgent help. It's a rescue from a store, and it's had thrips for a good while, until I treated it with diatomaceous earth and neem oil - however, now that I don't see pests on the leaf, I see yellowing and translucent spots. Is it pest damage from before, or do I have to change something in the plant care? It's right next to a window, on a watering schedule and in a pebble water tray. The soil right now is thoroughly wet after a recent watering about 2 days ago (the diatomaceous earth became a sludge and trapped moisture, so I did my best to break it apart and airate the soil.) Let me know what you think, and thank you all in advance!

Hello Alocasia Admirers!
My Alocasia longiloba is looking a little pale, not sure what’s causing it. I haven’t changed anything in his routine since I got him. But a few months ago he was green and now he’s pale, any ideas?
