Finally got some self watering pots so I can take a week away and worry less. Had a repotting frenzy and even got the sprouted corms in. - Norberta (Silver Dragon) dropped another corm in the process. - Moriarty (variegated Frydek) - Odara Batik - 2 sprouted Silver Dragon corms - 1 sprouted Pink Black Velvet corm
I have an alocasia corm and would like to know what side I should plant it on and if I should take off the brown root that it wasn’t connected to its mother plant with. Thank You!
The newest leaf since transplanting to spag moss
My Alocasia Frydek new leaf is growing quickly! Other leaves are splaying outwards a bit but I guess it's ok?? 😜🤩🌱 Or, should I support the other leaves with a stake or something, or are they ok just reaching wherever they want to go?! 😎🤩🙌🏼
Should I repot my alocasia? I am going to the plant store in two days and want to know if I should get a new pot for it. Thanks!
Love her 😍✨️ just had to share, happy Wednesday!
Home Depot for the score $19.99 for this beauty!! Alocasia Zebrina
Update on my silver dragon alocasia. I lost several of the original leaves only the tallest one an original from when i got it and the other three are new leaves.
Why is this unfurling leave have these small holes? Is there a possibility of pest?
Best substrate for this dragon scale alocasia? I’ve had it living in just water for a few months now because I had a mealy bug problem but they seem to be gone now. I noticed one part of the plant (the two small leaves in back) are curling up seemingly because of dehydration so I’m worried that they are experiencing root rot Should I give LECA a try or is there a better option?
I just bought this beautiful alocasia Zebrina for 25$ at my local Kroger. I used sexy plant juice spray on her to clean up the leafs it works wonders (2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of PEPPERMINT Castile soap, one tablespoon of neem Oil. @paigetailyn TikTok)
I just got the acclimated Bambino Pink Albo. Please tell me how to keep her beautiful. She will go under a grow light but I am worried about humidity!
I thought my Melo was struggling to push out new leafs, turns out they were flowers!
Hi, what would cause this yellowing? I have 3 leaves doing this, photographed. It has just put out two much larger healthier leaves, is this just cycling? Thank you
YAAAYY!!! after several months of waiting for these corms to grow roots, not only have they grown many roots, but also LEAVES!!! THREE of my corms so far have leaves popping out and five of them have roots (including the three with leaves). i can officially say i’ve grown alocasias from their corms!!! im actually so hyped up this is so exciting 😭😭🙏
I ordered a tiny dancer off Palmstreet, kinda new to alocasias, anybody got any tips or use one they can share knowledge about
Had to share. Can't wait. It might larger than the last one that was around 8". 😍
Is my Alocasia Polly a goner? It has continued to drop leaves so I’m going to try a new location (couple feet away from an east facing window). Afraid to overwater (following the apps suggested watering but the soil is dry again several days early according to my moisture detector). Any and all recommendations welcome.
I tried to put my Alocasia polly in a semi-hydro setup and gave her root rot 🤦🏼♀️ Oops. Can someone help me understand how to use a semi-hydro setup without repeating the same mistake? Any resources such a youtube videos diving into this topic would also be greatly appreciated. I used a diy lechuza pon recipe but am open to other options. She was living in my greenhouse cabinet where it got 12 hours of light each day. I did wash the roots clean before transferring to semi-hydro so there wasn’t any soil on them. My specific questions are: 1.) How do you know when to water again and how much water to provide? 2.) Do you follow the same rule of thumb for sizing a planter for a semi-hydro setup as you do for soil/potting mix (i.e about 1-2 inches bigger than the root ball)? 3.) What medium do you like to use and why? Thanks in advance!
My new Dragon Scale leaf😍
