Hi! I recently got this alocasia and im wondering what soil is best for it? I think its just in normal potting mix/soil that it came with! tia :)

Any idea as to why this is happening. I got 2 from a nursery about a week ago. They both look like this and they are both in two different spots getting lots of humidity. They are both 3-4 feet away from a window no direct light. This one hasn’t been watered by me since I got it. The other one I have watered and the next day it looked like this as well. Looks like this is getting worse by the day. I have a grow light on as well for 3 hours.

I grew a corm in horticultural substrate. It literally is thriving. It recently just started growing its third leaf. When should I switch to soil or should I keep it in the substrate or possibly pon?

I have an alocasia silver dragon and the tip on one of the leaves is dry but the leaves aren’t yellowing. Could this be a humidity issue? .

My first Alocasia. She (Allie) was purchased in soil and seems to be doing well. Does she need to be moved into something else, soil or pot? Thanks in advance for your advice it is greatly appreciated.

I’m looking for a second opinion on identifying this Alocasia. Planta scan says Azlanii but I’ve known it to be wrong before.

I’ve had my alocasia camouflage for over a month and nothing is happening. It was putting out a new leaf when I bought it so the smaller leaves have died off, but I haven’t gotten a new growth point since. The new leaf unfurled within the first week of having it. The roots look really healthy, it’s right next to the humidifier, and sits in a south facing window (with blinds). Has anyone experienced the same?

So many questions now I found the right people to ask 🤗🤗🤗 How do people get on with propagating from leaves? I know they grow from corms but will cuttings work? Pic of my babies just because 😆

My polly had massive root rot and I didn’t know so I have put her in Leca (heard they love it) and I want to make sure I have done it right she has next to no roots so hoping she will bounce back and get beautiful water roots the white line is where the water is

recently got this silver dragon and she seems happy, except her new growth appears to be struggling. it’s turned yellow and slightly crispy at the top. but the rest of her looks healthy? i did repot her a week ago or so, so maybe she’s in a bit of shock? would love opinions/tips :)

This Alocasia Dragon Scale is my first plant requiring lots of specialized care and I’m worried I’ve killed it. The info: it’s in an east facing window supplemented with a grow light, temperature kept between 20-23 C. I watered and fertilized yesterday (after 9 days of no water and the top two inches of soil completely dry, fertilized with half strength marphyl) and overnight the leaves have turned spotty yellow and drooped dramatically. Would love advice on how to keep this baby alive! I think I see signs of rot at the base. I appreciate any help you may have for me!

Hey all - I’m currently trying to plan my repotting plan. I have two different Alocasias which act like alocasias! 😬😩🤣 Online I’ve been seeing a lot of people with their Alocasias in leca. Thoughts on transferring them to this medium which I have ZERO experience with?

PlantPrincess

Hi all. I just saved this baby from my local supermarket. Any idea on how I can get it back to good health? The roots look good to me. Should I repot to something more airy?
