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 it’s a Sanderiana but that never seemed right for some reason edit: I think it may be a ā€œPseudo Sanderianaā€

My frydek’s newest leaf. I’m beyond obsessed. **shoutout to my Alocasia odora batik to the left of the frydek** šŸŖ“šŸ’š

Help with my Alocasia ā€˜Jacklyn’ 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

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

The new leaf looks like a marbled steak from behind XD, it’s 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 y’all can see the beautiful patterns. My alocasia dragon breath is also putting out some new leaves for me 🤭

My Alocasia Frydek is pretty droopy a couple weeks after purchasing… should I be concerned?

I brought home and Alocasia Bambino from the grocery store last night (I know, regretting it already!) and I have seen 3 bugs in my office today 😩 Does anyone know what this is? I repotted it immediately into my Molly’s mix. It had plugs. At this point I’m worried about my other plants more than this surviving.

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 I’ll save it.

My black velvet currently has a flower that’s opened, another that is opening within the next week, and a new leaf (not sure why its so happy but I’m not complaining!). My question is… How long do people wait to cut off the flower? I’m not looking to cut them before they bloom. They’re weird and they stink but I’m loving them. But once they have, do you just let it die naturally? Or cut it off at a certain point?

Hi! Wondering if I should be trimming the brown/dead/old leaves off of my Alocasia? They’re also very wet, I thought it was for overwatering but I’ve refrained and they’re still very wet. Also also, anyone know what kind of Alocasia this is?

Hi there… I am very new to Sphagnum moss. Wondering if you need to change it? Does it get moldy if left in the same moss?Also new to this plant. Started these from a corm and wondering if these grow slow… They seem to be at a standstill..
