Chopped anything that was dead and looked for corms. Left is a frydek and right is a golden bone. Any of these look ok? Also can I try again with the main part of the plant? That looks to be healthy. Thank you!

Was worried he wasn’t going to be very variegated but obviously love him anyway and then this leaf popped out *chefs kiss*

Strange Marking on Leaf: Hi all! Just wondering if anyone has experienced this - my new leaf recently unfurled on my year old alocasia Frydek and the top right area had a weird marking on it. Is this something that should be concerning? No signs of any pest and all of the other leaves are fine. Room has decent humidity (60-70%), and sits near a SE facing window, also watered with distilled water. Any advice is much appreciated!

My new variegated Frydek just arrived in the mail! It came in this cute little 2” pot and I’m super excited to finally have one. This was a little reward to myself for making the dean’s list last semester. ☺️

My new and second alocasia 😍 black velvet 🩵 she was in desperate need of new soil but had healthy roots. Hopefully this one likes me more than my Amazonica (who is fine but won’t give me any new leaves)

The baby plant is looking like that and I don’t know why. There is not much humidity in my room and I suspect why the tip of the baby leaf was dry. So I thought “Gee let me squirt some water on the Q-Tip and put some water on it” 🙄🙄😒😓 Fast forward, while I’ve put it under a grow light in hope to further stimulate growth to this baby plant, for some reason its looking the way it looks in the following picture (left; right is how it looked like originally). What does that mean??? Does it mean it’s dying?😭😭😭 I don’t only want my plant have two leaves! I never knew alocasia was SUCH a tough indoor plant (next to calathea😒😑)

I feel ashamed to say I lost both of my alocasias this month to spider mites 😞 should I throw them out or look for corms? Should I save the corms that already sprouted and try again? I’m not sure what to do at this point 💔

Does anyone know why the corms are growing above the soil instead of below? I have about 15 others growing in the same cabinet but none of them have corms above the soil. Weird 🤔

Pros & Cons of Soil or Leca…👇🏼 I’ve been contemplating changing to Leca. Wanting to know what people would recommend & personal experiences? My dragons scale, Draco 💚
Lynda
If I have a mature Alocasia, that is now in old potting soil, when I re-pot her, is the best medium simply LECA? Will she turn her toes up when I switch her to a medium that is so different from what she has been used to? 😊💚🪴

just took this alocasia jacklyn out of soil and think it might have a corm, can anyone confirm this before I pull it off to propagate?

Why does my self watering pot have this inside of it? What can I do to eliminate it? Randomly happened I have had this plant for about 3-4 months and this randomly happened 😣

Look at my little black stem that I’ve grown from a bulbi! She just kicked out her second leaf and I spy a third just starting to form. She comes from a variegated momma and I’m hoping someday she might surprise me as well!

hey peeps! i think have some base rot on my alocasia dragon scale but i’m not sure and i don’t know what to do! recently i repotted into a chunkier combo of orchid mix and potting soil, before it was in way too dense of a soil. ever since i got it i’ve slowly lost every single leaf (i just lopped off the last one last night) and i think the base has been rotting. i’ve been really careful not to overwater.

Im honestly shocked at how fast this second leaf is growing!

First new leaf on my baby Purpley . Up until now the leaf in the back was the only one it had .
