What time of plant is this? I think it might be an alocasia but I’m not sure.

Blooms on my Alocasia! That taller one hasn’t opened up yet. I’ll probably snip them soon

My alocasia black velvet has put out 4 beautiful leaves in the last 2 months! 🥰 But for the corms that are growing off the parent plant....will they actually right themselves and grow, or do I need to pluck them off and plant them vertically? The other one I removed died within days. Advice? Thank you! 😊

I’ve never noticed these spots on the backs of some of my plant’s leaves! What could this be from? I’ve recently repotted some of my plants nothing else major has happened! Thanks!

Can anyone pleeeasse tell me what I’m doing wrong with my alocasias? 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Several of them have leaves that keep turning this pinky yellow colour and dropping even though other ones next to them are fine? Some are still Giving new growth while also turning 🤷🏼‍♀️ I use a moisture meter to check when they need watering - about once a week - so I don’t think it’s over or under watering. They’re next to a north facing window with a bit of shelter so they aren’t getting full sun. Please please help!

Happy planting

Can you guys help me figure these little guy out his use to be so big and green with some burn from the sun. Now he has his leaves back still yellowing and seems to be curled a bit. When I got it I planted him in the ground it was doing ok but slow to grow and getting burned so I potted him in a pot recently. In 3 months I’ll repot in pon. What do you think..? Please help

Help! My dragon scale seemed perfectly fine earlier, but when I got home from work I noticed that this leaf had completely flopped over. The stem is still firm and it shouldn’t be a watering issue, but I don’t know if it has something to do with the new growth or what.

My neighbor just brought her dragon scale over and asked if I could fix it. 😳 I only have experience with a very slow growing Polly that I absolutely baby. Can anyone please tell me what is going on with this dragon? The soil is damp but not wet from top to bottom. She said it was in the back of her house in the window so that is east facing. I have no idea where to start. I was thinking it could be our well water because we have higher levels of lime but I just don’t know. Any help would be appreciated. I really want to save it. It’s a super cool plant. 🪴

This alocasia has done me no wrong being in soil— my Black Velvet however, might be my stepping stone into trying Pon.

I’ve fought with my alocasias from day one, but I must’ve started doing something right. Each of my plants has put out a new leaf in the past week or so. All those lighting tweaks, soil upgrades, humidity changes, etc. are worth it in the end! It’s so exciting to get new leaves instead of loosing them for a change!! 🎉

I SWORE I WASNT gonna try another one. Clearly I’m lying to myself. Does anyone have one in pon? I tried leca - TWICE. This one is smaller than the last two. Currently in a 3” pot. Any other tips for the Sulawesi?! I have a Pink Dragon that is up and down (always - typical) SUPER chunky mix. I also successfully transferred my Bisma to leca a a month or so and her roots are going CRAZY!
