Does anyone think the yellowing edges likely due to a nitrogen/fertilizer deficiency? I donât see any pests or issues.

Hi everyone! My alocasia elephant ear Ă polly needs urgent help. It's a rescue from a store, and it's had thrips for a good while, until I treated it with diatomaceous earth and neem oil - however, now that I don't see pests on the leaf, I see yellowing and translucent spots. Is it pest damage from before, or do I have to change something in the plant care? It's right next to a window, on a watering schedule and in a pebble water tray. The soil right now is thoroughly wet after a recent watering about 2 days ago (the diatomaceous earth became a sludge and trapped moisture, so I did my best to break it apart and airate the soil.) Let me know what you think, and thank you all in advance!

Hello Alocasia Admirers! My Alocasia longiloba is looking a little pale, not sure whatâs causing it. I havenât changed anything in his routine since I got him. But a few months ago he was green and now heâs pale, any ideas?

Hi, this is my Melo. Iâm not sure what this is. Hopefully itâs a good thing and maybe a flower but if you wouldnât mind helping me out and telling me what I do with it or not, that would be great. Thank you in advance.

Hey! I attempted to propagate corms and seem to be having some success. Would you say itâs time to plant the ones with roots? Iâve got a few 2 inch nursery pots I can put them in. Would that be the right size to start?

Hi Planta friends! Any idea what Alocasia this is?? Planta says Dragon Scale (although I know itâs not). It was bought as a Nebula. Thoughts? TIA!

The only Alocasia Iâve managed to keep alive and getting new growth⊠and I dropped it on its head & cracked it when I first got it and held the wounds together with orchid clips⊠trauma gives strength I guess ! đ€Łđ€Ł (you can totally see her scars too lmaoo)
