If you have a Trader Joe’s near you RUN don’t walk. They’ve had a variety of Alocasia’s everyday. The black velvet and Sarian I got for $7.99 with the cute pot and the stingray I found today for $5.99! They are all healthy and thriving. I’m determined to find more varieties there. I also found a beautiful purple tarp elephant ear last week there and it’s doing great!
Just got this Silver dragon Alocasia from Costco I re potted it and it was super root bound but the roots were supper healthy and white. It had all of these corms on it some were already sprouted but i transferred them to sphagnum moss. And the best part is that its blooming!!!
Anyone else here a fan of the tiny dancer alocasia? I picked this lil guy up yesterday, owner said he had been sitting in the store for 2 months waiting for a new home. I LOVE HIM. His name is Elton John. 🌿
This Alocasia Bisma is likely the easiest Alocasia I have had. It grows much slower than some so stays nice without needing much fussing for longer. Here it is pushing out a flower and a corm, I didn’t see in the last repot, has taken root and is about to push out it’s first leaf.
It’s named Dreamy for a reason!
found this little guy on my silver dragon alocasia
Too much sunlight can burn 🔥 @hydrogarden.guru
Hi everyone- Does anyone know what might be the cause for this alocasias yellowing leaves? I’ve heard they yellow as they get older, but I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong. The plant itself is also very droopy :(

Hello everyone! These were given to me today and I’m struggling to identify them so I can learn to care for them! I believe I have the last one narrowed down to a Maxkowskit based off photos but I’m not sure. Any help would be appreciated! I’m excited to learn more about them!
Lucked into finding this Alocasia jacklyn today and I am obsessed already! It’s my very first Alocasia and I know they can be a bit tricky so I’m kinda nervous… any tips or things to look out for?
Look at these little corms just doing their thing! I’m planning to leave them till they are their own little plants before harvesting… is there any reason not to leave them for a while?
My plant shelf fell today, and my pink dragon is the only that really got damaged. Do you all think it will recover?
This little kiddo is doing so well 🤩
Hi guys! So this is my first Alocasia, and I was having trouble identifying exactly which kind it is! Definitely did NOT realize how many variations there are! Can anyone help me please? I was kind of thinking that it’s a pink dragon due to the shape of the leaf?? Thanks in advance!! 🤍
Hey everyone! I’m obsessed with Alocasias. I’m thinking about getting some Colocasias soon. I love elephant ears! 😍
My most prized plant. She has produced so many corms. 💚
I was so sad because I had to chop a leaf from my Alocasia black velvet, but then today I noticed this new leaf coming in!! Also does anyone know if that brown tissue paper looking stuff on the base of the stems is normal?
Alocasia Maharani, finally putting out new growth after throwing a fit post transfer, from soil to LECA, and dropping all her old leaves. Such drama. 💚
Alocasia Nebula, in net pot/cache pot setup with LECA. Each new leaf is bigger than the one before 💚
