My neighbor just brought her dragon scale over and asked if I could fix it. 😳 I only have experience with a very slow growing Polly that I absolutely baby. Can anyone please tell me what is going on with this dragon? The soil is damp but not wet from top to bottom. She said it was in the back of her house in the window so that is east facing. I have no idea where to start. I was thinking it could be our well water because we have higher levels of lime but I just don’t know. Any help would be appreciated. I really want to save it. It’s a super cool plant. 🪴

This alocasia has done me no wrong being in soil— my Black Velvet however, might be my stepping stone into trying Pon.

I’ve fought with my alocasias from day one, but I must’ve started doing something right. Each of my plants has put out a new leaf in the past week or so. All those lighting tweaks, soil upgrades, humidity changes, etc. are worth it in the end! It’s so exciting to get new leaves instead of loosing them for a change!! 🎉

I SWORE I WASNT gonna try another one. Clearly I’m lying to myself. Does anyone have one in pon? I tried leca - TWICE. This one is smaller than the last two. Currently in a 3” pot. Any other tips for the Sulawesi?! I have a Pink Dragon that is up and down (always - typical) SUPER chunky mix. I also successfully transferred my Bisma to leca a a month or so and her roots are going CRAZY!

My first black velvet leaf, she’s healthy and so much bigger than all the other leaves on her. 🤩

I recently got this alocasia from a local, he said he had just put it in leca. It looked perfect when I picked it up, but not one of the leaves is going bad :( should I keep it in the leca? I’ve never used leca before either, do I always keep water at the bottom of the leca? Thank you!!

Help please! I went back home from a holiday for 2 weeks and found my Alocacia leaf turning this colour. This happened before for one of its small leaves and died. I noticed it drooped as well. Can’t figure out What’s the problem…last time I watered was before leaving for my holiday and I just measured soil moisture and don’t think it needs watering at the moment. I love this plant so much and I need help keeping it alive 😢

I did this since it had spider mites in the soil. Will it thrive still in just water? I also found a corm. How do I get it to grow?
