Hi guys! Not sure what to do.. is it getting too much sun or that’s too much water? I check soil before watering and I don’t water it too often. :(((

Need suggestions!! Should I chop and start over? My zebrina has been growing in the same spot for over a year. She was getting partial sun/shade and constantly pushing out new leaves. All of sudden, her leaves are curling upside down (like she’s getting too much light). Her stems are still very healthy and her roots look great. I have since moved her to a less sunny spot, but her leaves don’t seem to be turning back.

Hey Plant Fam- I have a baby Amazonica Polly Aurea that I'm struggling with for a couple of months now; It is the only Alocasia that I have ever had a problem with. Anything special about the care of this particular species that I should know that's different? The temperature ranges from 65-85 degrees, has a grow light on for 12hrs a day and the humidity averages about 65%. I have a baby Dragon Scale Albo and baby Variegated Silver Dragon in the same growing conditions and they are thriving. Thoughts? Thanks in advance

Any advice for potting medium for my Jacklyn? I just found her and she’s in plain soil but I don’t want to repot right before winter? Should I go for it or let her sit in the nursery pot until spring, or is the soil she’s in now fine?

AHHHH why are the leaves turning yellow?!?! Since I got it, this alocasia has been super happy, putting out new leaves… there was a bit of a humidity issue at first and edges of one leaf yellowed, then got crispy (I cut those areas off to help keep track of any additional issues). Lately it was looking like two of the leaves were really angled down. I say angled down and not drooping because the petioles still seemed so firm! But suddenly these leaves are going totally yellow, and it doesn’t quite look like anything else I can find only one! Can someone help me? 😢 I think the health of the plant mustn’t be TOO terrible because it is putting out a new leaf! Oh, I’ve also noticed a lot more roots at the surface of the soil.

Hello planty friends :) I have a variegated alocasia ‘Morocco’ ( pink dragon) here that is pushing out an all green leaf with no variegation. Any tips on how to restore the variegation? I’ve heard cutting the green leaves can work, but I’m not sure if it works for alocasia’s . I’m not sure if it needs higher light, but she is directly under a grow light , it’s a few feet above on the ceiling .

Hello! I am a beginner with Alocasias. I have heard they can be difficult and I have some that are doing well and others that are not doing so well. Anyone have any beginner tips? Photo 1: was given this one with the leaf damaged but it is now putting out a new leaf. Once the new leaf is stronger, I am thinking about cutting the damaged leaf. Photo 2: This one was doing really great but now it is suddenly yellowing in the middle parts of the leaf Photo 3: I bought this one from a box store and when I got hope the leaf ends started curling and getting mushy Photo: this is a baby this is doing fairly well

I want an alocsia but I don't know which one to start with. I would love to have an alocsia frydex but I have heard that they are pretty difficult.Does anyone have any ideas?

I have wanted an Alocasia for ever and just happened to randomly find a single one in Lowe’s. It was in a pot with no drainage so I immediately repotted it. The leaf with the big yellow spot was already like that, any idea what caused that and if it can be salvaged? Also, the tips of the older leaves are starting to yellow since I got it, is that stress from being repotted or is it something else? Bonus question: any idea what kind of Alocasia it is? It wasn’t specified when I bought it so I tried to identify it by color, but I’m not very confident. The leaves have a very slight silvery sheen to them, but I’m not familiar enough with the varieties to know for sure. Thanks!!

So my Zebrina had a thrips infection. I have cleared it out (I think) and then I moved the plant to a new spot. Recently noticed yellowing of the leaves and drooping. It seems to be struggling and not sure how to get I back, any ideas?

I just got my first black velvet Alocasia today and out of the 6 corms one is pink. I can’t really find anything online about it so I’m hoping someone on here would have information. They all have roots which is why they are in soil. Also my first go around with corms

Help!! I got my baby Colocasia Black Magic about a week ago and the leaf just unfurled a few days ago. I have it in my living room near a grow light (but covered with my sheer curtain) and a humidifier. I noticed this morning that the edges starting drying and discoloring. So far I have only watered once with fertilizer. What could be causing this issue? Has anyone else had the same problem?

I’ve got a few alocasias that are flowering (some buds already out and some still budding), but this is the first time I’ve ever had it happen. Any suggestions on the best way to care for them while they are flowering? I’ve heard to cut them off. I’ve heard if you cut them off the whole plant will die. Any info helps!

My new baby… Alocasia lauterbachiana varigated

Help! I transferred this Alocasia micholitziana to Lechuza pon a week ago and it’s yellowing/browning, especially the little baby leaves at the base. This is my first alocasia and first experience using pon so any advice would be MUCH appreciated. I’m not sure what a good watering schedule is for this or if I should be using the water reservoir just yet. It’s a lechuza planter. I really want to transition the rest of my plants to pon too and I’m a little intimidated now!! (also, I just moved it away from the window to take photos because it was backlit, she doesn’t live on the floor here)
