Omg. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? All of my other plants are thriving except for this guy (and a succulent lol long story). He has grown a little taller since I've bought him, but no new growth. I've actually had to cut a few pieces from a couple damaged leaves, but I thought all was good! I did that day one and weeks went by, no stress was shown. I did however remove some mesh that was entangled around the roots as I've heard that was good to do. I was careful, but I think it may have stressed him a bit. A week or so later he had some leaves drop (stem and all 😭). Roots look healthy and it's been probably 2 weeks since I removed the mesh, I figured he would have settled down by now if stressed. Woke up this morning to ANOTHER dropped leaf! What am I doing wrong? Should I give him more sun? Less sun? Soil is still moist. I'm at a loss, please help! The leaf that's hanging is mushy, yesterday it was fine!

My silver dragon had 8 babies. These 3 corms (one is still attached to mom) other 4 are baby silver dragon plants. Should I plant the corms? Sell them? I’m not sure what to do? I have never had a plant do this (I do know they make corms).

Question - why do the small leaves get droopy if the rest of the plant looks healthy? This is my second small leaf in a week to droop :(

I posted yesterday how I was excited that I found BOGO Alocasia in my local grocery store and I am excited, but it’s also sad how they aren’t really treated well there. I repotted the four I got yesterday and they all had good roots, but 3/4 were completely root-bound and my silver dragon was starting to get root rot. It just makes me sad to think that they either get completely passed up or bought and neglected (a lot of times).

Just received this Alocasia bisma as a gift. Good roots and changed to a chunkier soil. This is my first Alocasia (i’ve been scared to buy one lol) so any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!! 🌱

My azlanii is pushing out a new leaf! Yay! The big green leaf has had these dots for a few months and they have stayed like that. And no, it is not thrips. I check him 2-3x per month and spray with neem oil each time. He also has systemic granules in the soil. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what it was or how I can make Nyx thrive. The dying leaf in the back was deformed when it came out so i’m not surprised it’s falling off, but a new leaf is coming from it too so I haven’t cut it.

Hi! I just purchased my first Alocasia - it’s a baby Alocasia Jacklyn. Almost my entire plant collection is made up of Hoya so needless to say I’m nervous. Any advice or tips to keep this plant happy and healthy would be so appreciated!!!! Thank you :)

I have three problem Alocasias. First off my Yucatán princess is always getting mites (in soil). She does amazing and bounces back and after she puts out a new leaf, the older one starts yellowing and I start to see mites and fuzzy white bugs. Is this a forever maintenance plant where I have to treat for bugs once a month? Second, my Polly is bad, like so bad I don’t even want to show pictures bad. I switched it to hydroponics and it’s slightly better but still browning. No bugs, just struggling to live. What do I do? And lastly, my dark star got spider mites on all but two leaves. I decided to just chop them and new leaves are coming in, but is it common for them to always get spider mites? I want to make sure I keep that one separate if that’s the case. The dark star is in hydro too. All follow a fertilizer schedule and watered as needed. I love Alocasias but I’m struggling with these three and bugs.

This guy used to be doing so well but is now down to 2 leaves! It was thriving when I got it over a year ago and grew a few leaves. It now has been stable for the past few months with just these 2 but I’m worried it might die. I keep the soil relatively moist/follow planta’s timeline. I mist it occasionally and even keep a plate of water underneath it to help with humidity. Any suggestions?

My newest addition! Any tips or recommendations to help this baby thrive? What’s your favorite growing medium for Alocasias? I feel like I usually see people use pon or leca
