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 itās a Sanderiana but that never seemed right for some reason edit: I think it may be a āPseudo Sanderianaā
My frydekās newest leaf. Iām beyond obsessed. **shoutout to my Alocasia odora batik to the left of the frydek** šŖ“š
Help with my Alocasia āJacklynā 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
Please help. All other leaves have fallen off. How can I save her?
Heyy!! could someone tell me why my alocasia pink dragon has this open dark spot on it which keeps growing??
Got my first Alocasia a few weeks ago. Do these guys like to be root bound at all, or would yāall recommend repotting this guy? I would typically see roots like that and immediately repot. But Iām new to Alocasias. Thanks!
The new leaf looks like a marbled steak from behind XD, itās 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 yāall can see the beautiful patterns. My alocasia dragon breath is also putting out some new leaves for me š¤
I brought this plant a week ago and sudden heās just gone brown and wilting ! What do I do?
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 š© Does anyone know what this is? I repotted it immediately into my Mollyās mix. It had plugs. At this point Iām 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 Iāll save it.
My Alocasia nebula š„° got this beauty for $10 today at my favorite nursery
My black velvet currently has a flower thatās opened, another that is opening within the next week, and a new leaf (not sure why its so happy but Iām not complaining!). My question is⦠How long do people wait to cut off the flower? Iām not looking to cut them before they bloom. Theyāre weird and they stink but Iām 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? Theyāre also very wet, I thought it was for overwatering but Iāve refrained and theyāre still very wet. Also also, anyone know what kind of Alocasia this is?
I love her š it was a small sprout in July!
Look at this beautiful alocasia dragon breath, itās so bushy and is putting out so many new leaves!!
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..
Does anyone know what is going on with my plant
