My A. lauterbachiana has been droopy lately. At first I thought it was because it couldn’t support the weight of the leaves, but I’m not sure. What do you guys think?

Why is she bleeding 😭😭😭 I’m not concerned about the leaf dying off lmao all the other leaves are chilling and it just made a new one so I figure it’s just part of the plant’s life cycle, BUT WHAT IS THAT??? I’ve never seen a plant bleed like that. Maybe I’m crazy

Is this corm a goner? It got stuck in the mail and arrived cold. It’s not mushy, but… 😬 It don’t look good

I am considering a potting medium change for my two alocasias. My soil is currently mixed with orchid bark and perlite but I’m thinking it’s still not chunky enough and holds a bit too much water. My ninja is looking a little depressed which is why I am thinking about this, though it may still be acclimating. Anyone have any recommendations? I am contemplating leca but feel like I see mixed things on it. Or would just adding more bark/perlite be the easier answer?

Just got one of my wishlist plants! Variegated Alocasia Frydek! It’s in a humidity dome for now to help it acclimate and isolate it. Hope it stays happy! 😃

Has anyone bought these clear acrylic window shelves from Amazon? I’m interested to know if they are sturdy.

can someone tell me why my adult alocasia is growing two baby leafs that aren’t even unfurling? I’m aware I have a baby plant growing on the left, but I’m not sure why the leaves on the adult plant aren’t full size? thanks! :)

SHES FINALLY HAPPY AGAIN, I repotted her on Monday as she was getting hydrophobic and everything. (picture 2 is when I had repot) She was just looking sad so I repot her into a wider container I had (1-2 inches wider) and BOOM come today she’s exploded!!

I wanted to show off this bad girl Evangeline.

My alocasia cuprea is gifting me with a bloom! I rescued this one from a grocery store, along with another that only lives on through a corm, and I’m so happy to see it thriving! I know many people recommend cutting the blooms off but I have plans for this one! I’ll be saving the pollen to use if my black velvet ever blooms to hopefully create a hybrid!

Time for me to dig up my Cannias and elephant, ear bulbs for the winter. I was alway all summer doing hip replacements so I didn’t get to keep up with them. But the bulbs got to recharge their batteries why I was away.

Any idea what could cause brown - what appear to be dry/dead spots specifically only along the veins?

Can someone identify what this is? I wanted to guess pink princess but I have a bigger one that just sprouted new leaves that don’t show the same dark undersides.

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

DRAMA QUEEN ALERT 🚨 I moved it for 3 DAYS! Because I was renovating my room and look at it 😭😭

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) I’ve 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? He’s already doing better since I brought it home. It’s 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 it’s not too hard 😅 Of course, I had to dive into the deep end with a variegated frydek corm lol. I’ve grown several colocasia and caladiums from bulbs before, but they’re easier if I’m not mistaken. I failed at an alocasia flying squid in the past, but I blame that on not knowing it had a death mesh 😬 Wish me luck I guess lol 🍀 I’m super excited
