Not a fancy alocasia but my Polly is doing so well. Or at least I think so. Eleven leaves out and seven leaves or shoots coming out of the soil. A couple are behind the bigger leaves. It’s the only one still in soil. I have five in semi hydro.
After an end of summer shedding + spider mite over treatment with neem, we are back to pushing out big variegated leaves.
I got this a few months ago on the anniversary of my mom passing. Her name is Suzi 💕. Looks healthy and happy just ZERO growth. Not even trying to put out a new leaf. Am I being impatient? Is pot too big for her? Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks! 😊
I’m pretty new to alocasia plants. Is this droopy leaf dying? Should I prop it up? Cut it off?
The unfurling begins!! I think this is going to be a big one 🌿
2 new alocasia leaves! One is the Dragon Scale and the other is the mint variegated Dragon Scale
Where we started in August and where we are now. My first time so I’m very proud of myself. Even gave me the confidence to try tissue cultures 😅
It’s been a week since repotting my alocasia in the layer method - first leca, then moss, then chunky soil, then moss on top. I was worried with how they would do but they are looking fantastic.
My first Alocasia
only $6.99 for this beauty at Canadian Tire🍁😆
We’re officially out of dormancy and the new leaf is spectacular!
Did I do something wrong? Lol I know temps and seasons are changing. I’ve had this frydek since May of this year, she’s been happy healthy and over all just thriving. Not too long ago she had about 6-7 big leafs but then got mites so I cut back all of them except 2 leafs and the babies. After she was healthy again she shot out another new leaf a week ago. However this new leaf came out a lil wonky lol it’s been raining more than usual where I live and my plant is an office plant. Nothing has changed other than it’s been raining off and on for the last 2-3 weeks so it hasn’t gotten as much sun as usual. I fertilized her about 2 weeks ago. I’m not sure if it’s cause of the temp drop and it triggered dormancy mid growth or if it’s just not getting enough sun. I also noticed today that the petiole never fully opened to expose the full stem of the new leaf. Curious if anyone could help me figure this one out! Thank u all so much in advance 🙂
Have I planted this corm the correct way up?
Last plant haul of the year. Here are the Alocasia’s I picked up. Red Secret, Loco, Bisma and Dragon’s breath. I think. i am most excited to see the Loco get big 🥰
Hey yall. Can someone tell me what’s going on with my alocasia? I’ve been doing well with all my plants for a while. This one is throwing me off lol also, the new leaf that opened looks so awesome!
Bought these lady today. What's wrong with the leaves ? I cleaned them but they still look "dirty"
What is causing my babies to look like this 😭😭 I did use a high calcium/high magnesium fertilizer mix but havent had this issue with my adult plants. Last two pictures are babies that I recently transitioned to Leca and didn’t use fertilizer but still seeing a similar thing. These have been in a closed tub to keep humidity high I am nowI am at a loss! Any input appreciated!
Help!! Not sure if I should leave her alone or not? but this is what my alocasia looks like and has not grown another leaf since I got her
She’s flowering 💚
Look at this beauty ❤️❤️❤️
