Update on my Alocasia Baginda: I have since moved it away from my window sill as i believed the window and rain was negatively affecting it it’s condition has worsened however i’ve noticed a new leave so i believe the current leaves should die off and it’ll bounce back beautifully, any 2nd opinions?

So happy with my new addition!

So proud. Jacklyn went from just not exactly crushing it to the owner of the biggest leaf in the house in just a few short weeks. I was not letting the roots dry enough actually so I gave a little space and shortly after she pushed a big one! Not the best picture but promise it's big 🤭

She's giving me another inflo!! I let the first one do it's thing. I cut it when it dried. I gave her a repot. Leaves are still coming in like crazy and here we go again. Her health didnt decline after the first. Didnt slow down new growth. I'm going to leave this one to cycle through as well. However, I do wish they were more attractive 🙃

Is this a longiloba aurea or lemon lime? I bought it as a big chonk of "variegated" but unsure of which cultivar it is.

I have this Regal shield Aurea that currently potted in fluval/perlite and the newest leaf has these weird looking spots. All the other leafs are fine.Does anybody know what this is and what could cause this. TIA

I stopped at Lowe's today and found this pitiful creature shoved into the back of a shelf, dying all alone. I couldn't leave her to suffer like that, so I asked if they would discount and they gave her to me for $5, which I think the ceramic pot is worth. Got her home and out of the soaking wet, completely compacted soil and into some chunky aroid mix, chopped off the dead and dying leaves (I left the one with the tear because it still looks decently healthy) and put her in a nice dappled spot in my window (away from everyone else just in case.) Wish us luck! (Oh! And she gave me a bunch of little corms as well!

Newest leaf is so neon green! Previous new leaves were much more white. Curious to see if it lightens or stays this way?

I have an assortment of full grown alocasias but my favorite are definitely these I gew from a corm in a plant trade✌️😩. Im tempted on searching for a melo since I i already have the black velvet and maharani [a cross of melo x black velvet] anyone have experience though? I heard they're hard, also does anyone have a place they can get alocasia corms from?

What is wrong with my Alocasia Baginda? I recently put my Alocasia Baginda into a hydroponic pot with leca, i’m not sure as to whether the curling on the leaves is due to shock as a result of this or something else?

This is a rehab azlanii (I got it to grow a leaf, so pretty!). I was away for a week and when I came back there was this odd curved horizontal growth. At first I thought it was a fallen mushroom stem but it’s quite firm. I’m pretty new to alocasia. It’s in an ikea milsbo greenhouse with high humidity.

Hi everyone ! I’m new Alocasia care! I just bought this one.. the stems are so droopy, I’m trying to keep them up with a moss stick and a tie. Do they get stronger ? Or anything I can do to help it ?
loccednwla
had to chop her up when I first got her but she’s grown two new leaves back nice and healthy with two buds coming in🥳…question is this a leaf coming in as well near the base of the plant? 👀

Hello Alocasia experts! This plant was given to me as a gift yesterday and I have never owned this type of plant before. It’s a variegated green velvet alocasia. 1) What are some tips for this plant that will help it thrive? What are some things I should expect? 2) I have a monstera that I want to repot soon and I was wondering if chunky soil will be good for this plant? How do 3) does this plant drop leaves in the winter? Does it go dormant? How many leaves does it produce at a time? 4) I am currently placing it behind a sheer curtain to protect it from morning light. I have an east facing window and get tons of direct morning light and bright indirect light. Can I acclimate this plant to direct morning light?

I found this bb at my local greenhouse I wish I could get her but ofc she was like 40-50 bucks !!

Just repotted my Frydek, have these two babes plus 4 corms. Anyone on here local to the Upper Valley of NH/VT that'd be interested in some plant swap/trades from time to time? I've been gifting some to co-workers. I dont have enough to "sell" but I dont have alot of room to house so many multiples of the same plants...just a thought... on top of these frydek, I still have 3 pollys I've propped, 4 corms brewing from Scalprum. A Stingray soon to be repotted (guessing there will be corms) It'd be kinda cool to exchange with some neighbors.

Still pushing leaves this summer! This new leaf is already birthing a new leaf as of today.

I recently got this silver dragon. It has been under a grow light for about 12-14 hours a day and about a week after I got it, I repotted (into bigger pot as it was root bound) it into a chunky soil mix with perlite and orchid bark. Ever since the repot, the leaves got mushy and started drooping with these spots. Seems like an overwatering issue, but wanting to rule out a possible light issue or pest issue?
