Newest leaf on my variegated Alocasia Frydek
Gray
Is this a glitch??? Typically I water my plants based on Plantaās schedule and I havenāt had any problems. Sometimes Iām a day or two off. But today I watered all of my plants and noticed it was saying to water some of my alocasias again in 2 days. I know thatās wrong, bc alocasias would hate me if I gave them that much water, so Iām not going to do it, but whatās going on?? Is this a glitch?? Thanks!
mmm

Newbie I bought an Alocasia cuprea today. I maybe should have learned about this one before buying it. Impulse! I read they are sensitive to cold and do best in a warm room, like 77 warm. I keep my house at 65 in the winter. The plant is in a warmer part of the house, but itās maybe 68? It will get 3-4 hours of direct sun. I am seeing inconsistent info on how much light. Whatās been your experience with temperature and direct sun? Any other advice?

In case anyone is coveting the āpurpleā Alocasia longiloba: Iām pretty sure thatās not actually a different variety from the standard; the purple is just something they do when they get really high levels of light. The two photos on this post are of the same plant. The more typical looking leaf grew in a north-facing window. The purple leaf grew directly after that one, but Iād moved the plant to a very bright grow box. From what Iāve seen, sellers are still saying the purple form needs bright light to get that color, so I donāt think itās different. Iāve had this happen with two longilobas from separate sources, so I donāt think itās a fluke. Before you shell out 10x the price for the purple version, consider getting the original and giving it lots of bright light.

I had this rooted Alocasia Mystic bulb sitting in water to help the roots develop a bit more. I noticed it smelled really bad and it was rotting at the bottom. If I had to guess I'd say it's because the container I had it in was too small. I went to rinse it off but a good chunk of the bottom was really soft and spongy and washed away. Do we think it'll survive? Any tips?

Does she look healthy to you? Got her on sale for $10 at Walmart and not sure why they marked her down?

What the heckā¦ so this plant hated me at first and didnāt do anything for like a year. Then she started putting out leaves and big ones, doing great! She even flowered, I cut them off after they died back, which just also happened to be right before she started looking sad. Then we got some spider mites (I think and I think I caught them quickly). So I treated with insecticidal soap this last week, moved her to a bigger pot about 4 days ago because I thought the yellowing limp leaf was a sign of root rot. (Roots are fine). Weāve had spider mites before and have never done this, usually I rinse and treat once and she is fine. First picture taken on 2/13 with the flowers. Second picture taken today. Did I make her mad? š¤¦š»āāļø

Can someone help me confirm this ID? Is it a Silver Dragon Albo or Dragon Scale Albo? Or something else? Thank you

Iāve been keeping plants for a while now and canāt seem to find anything on this. But my alocasia maharani produced some corms, so i planted them to wait and see new babies. Well as you can see the leaf on this is almost completely white. So some how my alocasia maharani produced an albo variegated plant. sport variegation maybe?

i am wondering what type of alocasia i have? it was labeled as a black magic at the store.. but she seems too āshinyā almost to be like the ones in the pictures. and maybe a bit more purple (but thatās also the flash). side note: she will be getting new soil/pot, it is coming soon plz donāt judgeš i know she looks SO SAD rn. but if you know if the self watering pot from gardenix decor on amazon is good then plz lmk so i donāt kill her. and she is my first alocasia so any tips are welcomed. TIA

I repotted my plant and I've already lost 2 leaves and now I'm about to lose another. I also cleaned the leaves with neem oil after the other 2 fell off. I checked the soil and it was dry so i watered it. Im not sure what i did wrong. Can you help please?.

Hi everyone, Iāve had this black velvet for just under a year and it has always been in pretty good health until the last few new leaves, I know itās normal for them to drop old leaves every so often but a pattern has occurred over the past four new leaves, first one came out well and second almost kind of rotted before even beginning to get anywhere near to fully grown. The third leaf came out great and now Iām onto the fourth and itās rotting from the top down again, any idea why this could be happening? You can somewhat see where the new sprout is slowly decaying.
