My first Polly is giving me a hard time 😳 The smaller leaves are all yellowing and dying. Doesn’t seem over or under watered but I could be wrong! Any ideas on how to help this cutie ?! Thanks!!

Just got this Maharani, what advice do you all have for me? I’ve got a klingsbo cabinet not weather stripped and each shelf has one barring t5 pink-white light bar. Cabinet stays at about 66% humidity. In soil with rocks on top to help prevent gnats, watered 2-3 days ago fertilized 2 weeks ago.

I have a sprouted Alocasia Baginda (Pink Dragon) corm in a small sauce container with perlite and fluval stratum. I bought it on FB Marketplace and since I’ve brought it home it has done nothing for me. When I brought it home it had one leaf and appears to have another trying to start. That’s being said, it hasn’t done much of anything. I know something must be wrong with the conditions I’m providing so I’m trying to pinpoint what’s going wrong. For reference, it’s winter where I live (probably not the best time to bring this plant home, I know), we have a Woodstove that makes the ambient humidity 20% so I keep it under a glass jar with water sprayed inside and I let it breathe for about an hour each day. It gets bright indirect light from the window where it sits most of the time and direct sun for the hour that it’s out since I move it to the kitchen when the sun comes in. The new leaf shoot just looks crinkled and isn’t growing. Roots looks healthy. I did pull off 6 tiny corms and I’m trying to get those started just in case this plant doesn’t make it. Any advice is welcome.

I have a relatively small dragon scale Alocasia. It had five good leaves on it. My cat ripped off two leaves from the top of the stem. The stems are still intact. Will it regrow leaves at the top of the stems or should I cut them down to the base to have them regrow?

Anyone know of these black spots are Normal on my black velvet? She’s always been healthy and pushing leaves and has had them for a while. They’re not bugs and I can’t actually feel them, I just noticed there were more than I previously thought. It’s on all the stems and the base and I just wanna make sure.

Is this baby ready to graduate from its long time watery home? If so, what is the very best medium for this plant to grow in? I’ve heard that Alocasias like leca, or something similar, mediums with which I am not familiar. Advice, please! TIA…

Hi Alocasia lovers, Current collection fixation is on the Jacklyn. I only have one Alocasia currently - the humble Polly. I’ve avoided Alocasia for a long time, but since Polly has been stable for almost a year, I think I’m ready for another one. ?😬 If you have a Jacklyn, can you tell me about your experience with her? What issues have you encountered? What makes her happy? Thank you for your input!

I have grown this little baby from corm so proud of it

I was having humidity issues with my Dragon Scale so I started using a pebble tray, haven't used one before. The water wasn't high enough to go into the pot, but this started happening and the soil is still wet after a week. I tried putting even less water but it's still happening. Is this normal or should I be doing something different?

Any Dragon Moon tips? I have one and it hates me. No pests, always dropping leaves and curling. No new growth. It’s in a terracotta pot which I’m going to change out for plastic to retain more moisture, but what else should I do? We’re annoyed with each other. Thanks!

alright everyone, i need some advice. this is my alocasia regal shield. she came from a big box store in september as a rehab, as all but one of her leaves were pretty damaged from pests. I was able to eliminate the pests (and still haven’t seen anything other than a few fungus gnats) and pruned all the damaged leaves as they died off one by one. before the last 2 original leaves dropped she decided to bloom. i let her briefly have her moment, but chopped all the blooms down soon enough as well since I want her to focus on leaves. two days ago the final original leaf was turning lifeless, so I finally chopped her. i sprayed hydrogen peroxide diluted with water on the cut stem immediately after to hopefully prevent rot, but now we are browning and starting to go mushy. there’s another large stem in the pot, as well as 3 young babies i propagated from her corms during my original repot. i’m thinking of how i manage this open cut stem in the same pot as the other healthy plants. rooting powder? sit and wait? I think the second pic is a node(?) and I know there are a couple more deeper in the soil. please give me some direction <3
