Hi all, When growing your Corms, do you keep them open to the air or covered to retain moisture? The ones I had covered with a grow dome were showing signs of mold so I took the lids off & wiped away the mold. Since then I’ve seen no change or progress. All guidance appreciated 🤗
I’m so happy with my beautiful elephant ear! I’ve had it nearly a year and it’s gone from three leaves to six 😊
Comment your variegated alocasia please ❤️ I really want variegated black velvet, frydek, and bambino pink variegated. ❤️
grew my first corm!! alocasia nairobi nights
My alocasia is sprouting a new leaf🥺 I wish i could log him but Planta doesn’t have him on here
All of my alocasias are starting to flower at the same time 😳 what are the odds?!
Does anyone have a tried-and-true soil recipe for alocasias? So far I’ve used a potting soil with extra perlite added but I’m considering trying something new, maybe with orchid bark (?). Thanks in advance!
Help!! Found 6 corms and I haven’t ever rooted any!! I’d love some help! 🥺
Follow up: I ended up cutting off the sickly leaf and now I have one DRY brown green leaf left. However…in one of the shafts, there looks to be a THIN stingy material. Does this look like a potential growth for a new leaf? I really hope so cuz I bought another green scale alocasia, so I can have it to help cope while this one dies🥺🥺😭 (it can be hard to see so that’s why I circled) I’m unfamiliar to process of how a new alocasia grows since it has thicker leaves.
I have a juvenile colcasia mojito, and need enlightenment please.. I have read that it is normal for colcasias and alocasias to drop a leaf when they put out a new one, at what point does that stop or at least slow down..
Hey everyone! I have two black velvet corms sat in perlite. I was wondering does adding cutting of pothos help corms grow like it can with cuttings or does it not work in the same way? Thank you
I bought this Polly 2 weeks ago and have only watered it once. I let it drain for about 45 mins, and is in a well lit area. The substrate feels mostly like coco coir and it is still wet even though it’s been 9 days since watering. Can someone tell me what’s wrong with my plant baby?
so I got this frydek about 2 weeks ago via mail, is there anything i can do? humidity level is always in range of the requirements besides shipping.
Wanted to show off this new leaf still hardening on my black velvet 😍 also there are currently 8 leaves on this plant!! Such a beaut
Beauty♥️
I was wondering will this Dragon Scale survive? This my first time caring for an Alocasia and I accidentally watered it too much and then as I misted it both of the two leaves turned light green because it held the water in. Then the big one as shown here developed those small bumps. Then I thought hey maybe the Neem oil would help it, but unfortunately I STILL didn’t learn that the leaf (eves) could hold liquid and then they both got worse! I’ve already lost two leaves and while it got a “new bud” that one turned yellow and seemed to stop growing! Should I just give up on the plant or should I continue holding on to it seems to still be hang in there?
Hi there! New to trying to keep plants, my friend gave me her black velvet alocasia propagation. Any advice and tips?
Anyone else having success in water with their Alocasia? I switched to water because I was having trouble with soil, they kept dying on me.
Omg helpppp. I have no idea what happening!
Should I mist my alocasia?
