hello all! wondering if anyone can help. Iâve had this large lady for 1+ years now. Have been through the cycle of winter leaf loss once already (but in a different house). This time round itâs losing a lot more leaves than before and now two of my leaves have âsnappedâ. Is it bad placement? Watering issue? This is a south facing window - when the sun shines its full sun! Any help would be appreciated đ
Can this be saved??? If so, whatâs the best option? Click on picture to see it in full. Back story: it was in a 4 inch pot. I went to check on the roots and most of them just disintegrated into the soil. Root rot, I supposeâŠ
Within the past two weeks Iâve gone from âlet the inflorescence grow, I heard itâs beneficial to the plantâ to âthis is starting to seem a bit wonky hereâ to âCUT THEM OFF STAT THEYâRE DRAINING TOO MUCH ENERGYâ Even with fertilizing, my once extremely happy alocasia is now drooping severely on all accounts, even staked up đđ I feel like Iâm failing her
My current fave thing is to buy baby plants at my nursery for $2.99-3.99, like this baby alocasia. Any guesses what kind? A worker wasnât sure as they were unpacking them and she couldnât find the list.
Went to Lowes to look for clear nursery pots and left with this baby and an airplant instead. How often do you guys wait to repot your alocasias? It also came in a self watering, but it has a long root sticking out the bottom of the pot. Iâm also curious to see if it has any corms!!
I let my alocasia flower and now itâs drooping!! Is this normal? Does it just need time to recover or am I doing something wrong?
Hellooooo!!!đ„łđ„ł I got these two beautiful plants yesterday and deep cleaned both of them (bc I saw some bugs in other plants at the store) and repotted them in their same pots (after washing of course) and you would not BELIEVE how many babies I found!! Trying different propagation methods and hoping everything goes smoothly!
I bought a healthy elephant ear from Trader Joeâs back over the summer. Long story short, I managed to slowly kill the main stalks and leaves. This was either through an accident causing physical trauma (one time I put it outside for some sun and it tipped over in the wind and a main leaf stalk broke in half.) or just poor care (waiting too long to repot it from its nursery post. When I finally did, it never developed strong roots, tipped over, and eventually died after I tried in vain to save it.) During its early time with me though when it was thriving, it sprouted this tiny little âbaby leafâ near it in the pot. In some plants like aloe it would be called a âpupâ, but not sure if the same terminology applies here. Throughout everything, only this lone leaf has survived. Iâve been leaving it in this pot for the last several weeks and while it hasnât gotten worse, itâs not gotten any bigger than this. Is this as big as itâs going to get? Should I cut my losses and start over entirely with a new elephant ear? - A newbie in over her head đ„Č
Hey guys! About a year or so ago I bought an Alocatia black velvet from either Samâs or Costco, I donât remember which, she was so lovely and one of my favorite plants by far. Dw started to not do so well and she lost all of her leaves, they just fell over so I trimmed them off. She grew back leaves, but every time they would get floppy and fall over so they would break. Now Iâm left with 2 sad little bulbs. Iâve planted them in perlite because thatâs whatâs someone recommended to me so they will establish very healthy roots, but I just donât know what to do. It makes me so sad to see her like this. If anyone has any advice or theoryâs on where I may have went wrong, please let me know!! I really want to try my best to save her!! Thank you so much!! ( pictures are before and now)
Seven leaves, one alocasia black velvet in a potđ
This is my second Alocasia! Really want to get it right this time. The first one almost died of root rot and is currently recovering. Only the tuber was left đ„č
This is my first inflorescence and MAAM THIS IS A CHILIS
I just noticed this nice new leaf today! Alocasia cuprea. It always has only two or three leaves. I bet after this one unrolls an older leaf will fall off. Do you guys experience the two to three leaf only thing with your Alocasias? Not all but several of mine are this way. They grow one and drop one.
Omg! Went to costco⊠and i found this beauty⊠for $33⊠this is the biggest plant iâve ever had! Any tips for a plant of this size would be appreciated!
Should I repot this baby? I got it new in November and it just grew like crazy, I mean it was small when I got it and maybe 3 leaves. Itâs so happy I donât want to ruin it. Itâs came in what I believe is peat moss, which I love. If I do repot, should I use the same? Would it need fertilizer? I donât want to kill my baby!
New leaf rollout on my Pink Princess Alocasia đ
Hey guys! New here! Hereâs a small portion of my Alocasia collection. Not an aficionado necessarily, but Iâd like to be!
My frydek lost most of its leaves during its winter dormancy period sadly but now that she is refreshed and calibrated again⊠NEW LEAF BABY! it was a surprise to see the tiny spurt the other day but Iâm so happy sheâs looking healthy so far đ€ (so excited to see what the variegation looks like too!!)
Massive new leaf rolling out
My Polly has been in Fluval stratum in a non draining vessel for almost a month now, hasnât dropped any leaves since the transfer from soil⊠and now she is giving me a new leaf!!! Without dropping any of her current ones!!!! I think Iâm in love with Fluval stratum⊠letâs hope itâs a leaf and not a flowerâŠ. This is the first new growth only have had her since Christmas.
