Should I prune this large leaf off my elephant ear? I have a new leaf growth and have been trying to get it healthy again.

Dying or going dormant? Two months ago this was a new leafâthe last leaf on my giant taroâ but now it is wilting from the tip down. I have him in my quarantine corner at the moment. Edit: itâs been a while since Iâve watered⊠But the soil is still most in the middle.

Thank you to everyone who convinced me to wait it out bc they said it looked like a leaf & not a bloom. IT IS INDEED A LEAF! đ±

Hey guys! Any ideas of whatâs going on with my Alocasia? Or any advice about this? I found one of his leaves like this recently and he also had a new one that died the other day too. Heâs also leaning over to the side a little bit, I wasnât sure if it was because heâs sick or just leaning towards the light. He uses a grow light instead of natural. But Iâm not sure whatâs going on or how to fix this.

I thought this was a leaf malformation but itâs actually my first inflorescence đ„čđ€§ proud plant mama here đđŒââïž However I noticed two new baby yellow spots today đ© Iâd say probably fungal right, any recommendations to treat it? Or do inflorescence cause damage to the oldest leaf like leaf cycling? I also took it out of its pot and inspected the roots without dislodging all the soil (I donât want it to do anything while itâs pushing out an inflorescence) and didnât notice anything worrisome. All of the roots looked healthy. Should I poke around deeper?

Hey everyone! This is my first Alocasia ever so I still donât know what Iâm doing. My question is that my Alocasiaâs leaves keep peeling from the stem. Is that normal? When I got her I knew one of her leaves was going to fall but this one is also breaking in a similar fashion. Is there anything I can do? Is there a way for me to stabilize the leaf so it doesnât break?

Wouldnât necessarily say Iâm an aficionado yet but I am encouraged by this beauty.

She seems to be thriving since I took her out of the nursery soil and put her in only Fluval stratum! Her roots look healthy! This is just a glass bowl from Michaelâs, no drainage.. and only fill with distilled water up to the bottom of her roots.

I have a Polly (alocasia) and itâs not the first one iâve had but itâs not doing super well. (just like the first one) and Iâm super worried itâs going to die like the last one. I actually bought planta premium not too long ago thinking it could help me manage this plant better but I still royally suck at it lol. (Iâm gonna add pictures of my plants because itâs easier to do that than another paragraph) (iâve seen a couple posts saying this kind was the easiest to take care of so iâm probably making a bunch of beginner mistakes đ) Iâd love it so much if you guys could help me figure out whatâs probably going to kill it. I donât have enough knowledge about plants in general so if you guys know about books (or anything else) i could get myself for that it be great. i have grow lights but I might return them and get better ones. Iâm ready to invest my time in money in this plant because I really love it so I need some advice!

I found a frydek at my local greenhouse! I have a humidifier set to about 60-65% and grow lights set for my other alocasia, anything else I should know for this guy?

Hiii i got this (originally) gorgeous elephant ear and have had it for about three months now. The leaves however started to droop and get brown spots and yellow. I thought maybe it was overwatering from rain/draft. Iâve recently cut off some of the worser off leaves, and itâs potted with a drainage hole and I recently moved it inside due to cold weather. Iâm trying to get it back on track (see one new leaf!) but itâs proving difficult. Iâve been following plantaâs care guide and advice. You can see its progression on the tagged plant. Any tips?

Prettiest Alocasia. I am turning on because get ugly and stretch to light too much.

Purchased this Alocasia noblis 3 weeks ago. Watered weekly. It started getting these spots a week ago. I was concerned for fungus so I treated with fertilome. Iâve moved it to a brighter spot. Any suggestions?

My alocasia has been doing amazing since day one. I have been very consistent with watering and lighting. Today I checks and soil is slightly dry (usually I would water but itâs a little cold so Iâm waiting). I notice the stems are just a little bit softer, not mushy and no yellow. It seems very healthy. Has lots of consistent new growth. Is there a reason the stems are a little softer? Cold? Repotting?

About a month ago I posted how there was new growth on my Silver Dragon that looked like a possible bloomâ well I ended up pinching it off & another one grewđ I decided to leave this one alone, what do you guys think?
Jenna
I just purchased these two pretty guys over the weekend⊠planta informed me that they were too advanced for my current plant mom skill set. đ Which I donât doubt, BUT I am hoping to hear any tips or tricks from my more experienced community members to help keep these babies alive and *hopefully thriving. Literally any information is helpful Thanks in advance!
Black velvet
About two weeks ago I noticed my snake plant had a funny leaf growing, in a week I checked back it itâs a black velvet, which makes sense this was his old pot before he got an upgrade! I need tips to keep this little guy alive. I have a black velvet currently, but she has dropped a lot of leaves and probably my most difficult plant baby. I would love to learn to propagate these babes. Any tips will help!! Thank you đ€
