Should i repot my dragons breathe? It was fine before but now itâs drinking up water like nothing, I gave it a drench yesterday and itâs nearly dry again (Iâm in winter, and itâs not near any heater, also itâs in a cabinet and Iâm using LED grow lights so no sun is directly on it) could it be the soil is too dense or has it outgrown itâs pot?

Bought this black velvet the other day for 50% off because it looked great and was just really droopy. (The plant store it was in in actually has no windows so I figured it was just from lack of sun) Iâve had it sitting in the sunny window in the day time and in this chair at night under a grow light with it leaves propped up, hoping it will give it the support to get more upright.
Any suggestions to help this guy get less droopy?
Heâs already doing better since I brought it home. Itâs actually gone up a bit and had a new growth already. (Daytime picture is when I got it home the other day)

I just ordered an alocasia corm to grow one for the first time! I hope itâs not too hard đ Of course, I had to dive into the deep end with a variegated frydek corm lol. Iâve grown several colocasia and caladiums from bulbs before, but theyâre easier if Iâm not mistaken. I failed at an alocasia flying squid in the past, but I blame that on not knowing it had a death mesh đŹ Wish me luck I guess lol đ Iâm super excited

How do you all prevent mildew/mold/fungus from growing in your sphagnum moss container when growing corms?

New here! This may be a silly question but what type of Alocasia is in the title photo? I have the exact one and have been told itâs a Sanderiana but that never seemed right for some reason edit: I think it may be a âPseudo Sanderianaâ

Help with my Alocasia âJacklynâ I've had it for three months and until lately has been fine but it only has this one leaf so I'm worried I'll lose it
Jacqueline Lyday
Please help. All other leaves have fallen off. How can I save her?

Got my first Alocasia a few weeks ago. Do these guys like to be root bound at all, or would yâall recommend repotting this guy?
I would typically see roots like that and immediately repot. But Iâm new to Alocasias.
Thanks!

The new leaf looks like a marbled steak from behind XD, itâs so pretty tho!

Look how beautiful this leaf is that my alocasia watsoniana rewarded me during the fall season!! I made the second image brighter so yâall can see the beautiful patterns. My alocasia dragon breath is also putting out some new leaves for me đ€

My Alocasia Frydek is pretty droopy a couple weeks after purchasing⊠should I be concerned?
This needed TLC. I repotted it, took out some dead leaves, cut the roots back. It suffered from being rootbound and not enough water. I told the cashier Iâll save it.
