hey everyone! does anyone know if my alocasia frydek is turning variegated or if there’s something wrong with it? this is her newest leaf and it looks a little splotchy—I thought it was just being awkward when growing but the leaf is almost fully grown and the patchy parts didnt go away.
I’ve had this elephant ear for a little while now and at first I had a lot of issues keeping it alive. I finally put it outside and it’s been growing a lot ever since but it’s still dropping leaves here and there and browning on the edges occasionally. I’ve also had issue with it dropping so I gave it a stake but all the ones I see online don’t need it. Any advice on fixing these issues? I also water it when it starts to look a little sad or when the soil is dry.
I found this leaf on one of my Alocasias today. Does anyone know possible cause? No signs of buggies on the underside of the leaf. I just don’t want the whole plant to turn! Thanks!
So I decided to do a little terrarium experiment. This is my first alocasia and I knew they require high humidity. So I decided to take a corm and grow it out of a water bottle I reshaped… I used horticultural sentiment as the base. It has been growing very well it’s just I keep having the same problem over and over again. It will grow either one or two perfect leaves then one has to turn yellow before a new one sprouts. What you see in the picture below is one of the new leaves. And the tip of the old leaf yellowing. All advice would be appreciated!! (I plan to eventually get a self watering pot and re-pot it in pon in the future.)
My first new Melo leaf 🤩🤩
Hi everyone, I’ve been a plant mum now for a while and am considering buying my first Alocasia! I’m based in the U.K. and have heard from more experienced plant people that they’re difficult to keep alive ☹️ Can anyone give me any tips for keeping this baby alive if I was to purchase her?
Would you divide these or let them grow the way they are? I want a full plant, but don’t want to restrict them negatively.
I just got this alocasia from Lowe’s and need some help identifying what type of alocasia it is.
Can someone explain help? Why is this happening to my Alocasia Hilo Beauty?? 😩😩😩
How beautiful is that leaf 🐉 😍
A beauty 🥰🥰
POLLY CORM UPDATE! I’ve never made it this far before!! 😅 any suggestions or tips on what to do next??
There is slight yellowing along the edges of the leaves. What should I do????
I just had to share this beautiful new leaf that unfurled two days ago on my Pink Dragon. It’s HUGE! 10” long x 5” wide! The older two leaves are each 5” long x 3” wide. The plant is 16.5 inches tall. Never has she produced a leaf this big!! It’s crazy! 💚 Also, there’s already a new stem starting. I cut off a dead leaf right before I watered her tonight. If she produces a new leaf, one dies. Every time and almost simultaneously. She never gives without taking away. Is this normal for Alocasia? 🤔 I swear, I can’t tell if this plant hates me or loves me. She’s currently feeling and showing me all the love. But her moods are fickle. Btw, her name is Maleficent and lemme tell ya, IT FITS! 🧙🏻🐉
I got these two black velvets (revert and variegated) as a bonus when i picked up a new bambino. I’ve never had anything so small/tiny/young. Any tips? When can i plant them?
Planta says this is an Alocasia Reginae. Does anyone know why these off white colors spots are forming?
(the white dust is from using a paper towel after spraying) I found some spider mites on my frydek would they be the cause of these spots? I thought I used to much fertilizer or let the water get to low (it’s in semi hydro) since I found the spider mites I’m not sure now
Hi guys! I was wondering if you guys knew what type of Alocasia this is? I tried scanning in the app but it keeps saying its an Alocasia Black Velvet, which I know its now true. It didn’t have a tag when I bought it. I think I’m between elephant ear Morocco or Ivory Coast. Any insight would be helpful!
It was progress day for this one and had to share her soil to semi hydro progress with fellow plant lovers ♥️
Can anyone tell me the kind of alocasia this is ? 😇
