My imperial taro (colocasia antiquorum, aka eddoes) is producing it’s first leaf.
Posting again because I literally love her she's growing sooooo big by the day! Side note: I will be taking her out of the glass and in a bigger plastic pot ! She's been doing great in the glass but it's time for something else look at those roots !
Hey guys! New here and just got this beautiful Dawn… please send tips! I think I’ll repot her today and separate the plants. Soil I’ll be repotting her in will be an aroid mix with tree fern fiber, maybe I’ll add just a little soil. Thanks in advance!
Okay so I was gifted this dragon scale and after researching, quickly learned how difficult alocasia's can be. I've had this one for about 3 months, and now all the leaves are crisping up/turning yellow. I'm a chronic underwaterer, but feel like this might be a humidity issue? What can I do to fix it? Any advice would be appreciated!!
This originally started as a " corm project" with two different types of Alocasias. 🌱 Regal shield Polly
Cool home depot find today 🤘🏼
This guy doesn’t seem to be super happy. Is the pot too big? He’s in a cactus soil mix with orchid bark mixed in and perlite. I already lost 3 leaves after bringing him home.
Flower on my Dragon Scale is blooming 😊
Someone near me has an Alocasia Black Zebrina for sale for 25 bucks. It looks to be about 2-3ft tall. Is this a good price?
An interesting new leaf coming out half-moon on my new mojito colocasia ☺️ I guess this leaf won’t have the typical purple-ish mojito spots, but it still looks cool!
My imperial taro, I am growing from a readily sprouted eddoes root, that I got from H-mart a Korean grocery store.
new leaf!! when i got this guy at the end of september, he only had 3 leaves. now he has 6!
My Jacklyn is fairly new to me (1 month) and all of its leaftips have turned yellow and shriveled. It shouldn’t be an overwatering thing, but maybe a stress/adjustment issue?
Can someone explain the yellow variegated leaf on my Mikey mouse Alocasia? The other two are white and seem healthy, but this one is bright yellow but I don’t understand why and if it’s something to worry about. Thank you!!
Hi! I recently got an Alocasia Bambino (I think). Any tips on how to keep it alive would be greatly appreciated!
What is this growing from the center of my Colocasia? I don’t think it’s a new leaf, the new leaf would come from the stem of the newest leaf that’s in the far right of the close up image. Unless I’m wrong and they can grow more leaves from the center and not just the stem of another. I’ve been googling and the best I can think of is it’s starting to grow a flower? But I think it’s too young to be growing one. Background, I did save this plant. All its leaves were dead and growing one new leaf still in its sheath when I got it. So the four leaves it has is what it had grown under my care. So technically it’s older than what it looks, but still questionable if it could even flower with just four leaves.
hi guys!! i’m still beginner at plant life and would love a few tips for caring for this alocasia! I don’t even know the type. I just got it today, i plan to pot it in soil tomorrow.
Anyone able to help identify this variety? Very new to these guys (obviously!)
Baby variegated frydek 🥹 doing an experiment have two in semi hydro and one still in the sphagnum prop box to see which is better. So far the semi hydro has unfurled faster
This was my first Alocasia. What started out as a plant that I almost killed in the first week has turned into this; I absolutely love her! However, the baby plants are now sprouting babies and there are corms galore popping up on the surface of the Pon. Would it harm the main plant(s) if I cut/snapped/break off the smaller plants as they pop up? Not sure how many more I can handle let alone how many more that planter can handle lol
