Hi guys! My friend just gave me this Alocasia and said itâs currently dormant⊠idk how long she has had it or how long it has gone without water. Tips on what I should do? Itâs my first Alocasia so I wanna make sure I do what I can to be successful!
Whatâs wrong with my Alocasia dragon scale? Some spots are starting to get yellow and it is also getting a bit crispy. I mist her everyday and she gets bright indirect light. I also donât let her dry out a-lot because I know they arenât a fan of that. She does have a new leaf coming up so maybe this old leaf is just dying? TIA!!!
My Black Velvet has been doing amazing and has even had offshoots. In the time span that Iâve had her the previous offshoots fell off or just died, so I started taking a hands off approach. Which has been working out in my favor, because new leaves were growing and sheâs even flowered a few times. However, this is the first time Iâve had the offshoot get this big and itâs bulbous. im pretty sure itâs a corm thatâs formed, but I want to be certain. I would appreciate any advice on what I should do to see it actually grow.
I recently purchased this Alocasia Jacklyn and repotted it into a terracotta pot. However I feel like the pot is noticeably cold to the touch and I worry itâs going to affect the root health. Any suggestions on how to keep it warm? Or should I switch to a different pot?
AH! Help, please! What did I do to her and how do I fix it???
To cut or not to cut an all white leaf đ€
Got my DREAM plant today đ (Alocasia Morocco Variegated) Letâs hope she likes her new home! đ«¶đ»
Does anyone have their Alocasias in leca? HELP đ. I transferred her about 2 1/2 months ago. She was doing GREAT! Even put out a new leaf. Last time I went to check the water level I noticed the yellow and brown, with âmushyâ tips and thought I mixed my nutrient solution to strong. So I adjusted it and topped off the cache pot (filling about 1/3). The leaf with the significant âyuckâ, has developed since that. Thoughts? Do you let the cache pot be DRY before you add more nutrient solution?
My Black Velvet is flowering! đ§đđ
hey everyone! ive had my alocasia polly for about 2 months now (got her when she was about 7 months old i think) but sheâs stalled a bit. she recently lost 2 (of 4) leaves and hasnt grown any new ones⊠the center (pictured) has been growing very slowly but it doesnt really resemble a normal leaf. does anyone know whatâs going on? for reference, i got my alocasia frydek at the same time and itâs put out 2 new leaves (and another emerging) thus far.
Help! I finally ordered my alocasia flying squid and it came in the mail last Friday and itâs already lost 3 leaves and a fourth one has begun to droop hard since this morning. It came in a 2â plastic pot in one of those little spongey plugs and some soil shoved on top. It was falling out of the pot and the plug was crumbly when I opened it so I removed the plug bits and put it in a mix of perlite, bark, peat and soil in a 2â terracotta pot and watered it. No root rot or anything, roots looked good but itâs so tiny the root system isnât large. Watered again today, the soil was already mostly dry since itâs so small. Iâve been an alocasia killer in the past so I really donât want to kill this little guy đ do yall think the lost leaves are just from travel stress? Or maybe temperature change? It did come from Florida and Iâm in western PA. The day it arrived was the beginning of much colder weather here (like only hitting 70 degrees daytime and it was 45 last night). Itâs inside under a grow light but weâve had a few windows open during the day and no heat turned on at night yet since itâs August and this is weird weather. Itâs still around 66-68 degrees in the house at night with windows closed. What do yall think? Suggestions? Picture with plastic pot was Friday, other picture is today. Killing an alocasia in under a week would be a record low for me đ„Ž
Iâve just brought what I believe is a Alocasia Ă amazonica polly . Does anyone know what these little spots are? Are the curled leaves due to unhappiness? Iâm looking to repot to a well draining soil mix this weekend (one sheâs had time to settle ) the soil was dry so I have bottom fed .
Whatâs wrong with my baby dragon scale? Sheâs becoming dry and crunchy on the side of her leaf. She gets bright indirect light and I mist her everyday for humidity. I also only water her when she is dry. She has little new growth and I donât want it to also become brown and dry. TIA!!!
I have this bambino, sheâs domed off the leaves are coming back but Iâm wondering when do I un dome ? đ
When your baby Alocasia finally takes a growth spurt đ
After a visit to my local plant shop (god I love that place!), buying two new plants and some GT Root Zone, the shop owner gave me all the confidence to transfer her over to pon! This is my THIRD try with this one! I bought small in the hopes that would help!!! She gave me a new leaf and her roots look GREAT!
When a wishlist plant is in the plant shop! New leaf on the top and another one unfurling! đ
hey everyone! does anyone know if my alocasia frydek is turning variegated or if thereâs something wrong with it? this is her newest leaf and it looks a little splotchyâI thought it was just being awkward when growing but the leaf is almost fully grown and the patchy parts didnt go away.
Iâve 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 itâs been growing a lot ever since but itâs still dropping leaves here and there and browning on the edges occasionally. Iâve also had issue with it dropping so I gave it a stake but all the ones I see online donât 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 donât want the whole plant to turn! Thanks!
