Impulse bought this Baroque Sword from a Black Friday sale... I thought the leaf was just so interesting! As is usually the case with alocasias I guess, haha. It was looking pretty sad and only had one leaf. Just got back from a one week vacation and this new leaf appeared out of nowhere 🤩 my other elephant ear alocasia just put out a fresh leaf as well. I was scared to try alocasias but maybe I can do this?! Haha

Does anyone know what type of alocasia this is?? I'm 5hinking dragon scale, but it was unlabeled in the shop and just wanted to get confirmation/suggestions

What taro is this, as in what species of colcasia or alocasia it is and variety(if possible). Also the first picture is caused by the combination of purple grow light, camera flash and the reflective surface of the leaf caused by the very short hairs all over the leaf.

New leaf on my alocasia black velvet!

I potted up some philo Brasil propagations around the end of summer, and apparently a stray corm found its way into the soil lol. Now I just need to figure out what type it is! (I have a black velvet, Jacklyn, maharani, and Polly) 🧐 any guesses?

Anybody use fluval stratum with their alocasias? I’d love some advice.

Hi everyone, I’m back again with more questions about the pink dragon lol, all is looking really healthy now and has got used to its environment I believe. The past week it’s been pushing what i thought at first was a leaf, can anyone let me know what’s going on?

One of my favorite alocasias! 🫶 Look at that texture 😍😍

Hi! I’m not an aficionado, but I need help from those of you who are! I think I overwatered this alocasia. It already lost one small leaf, and now the large leaf appears to be dying. I repotted it today and there are very few roots left, but what’s there looks firm and white. My questions are A) do I cut the big leaf? Maybe there’s not enough of a root system to support it?? And B) when do I water it again?? Afraid to overwater again, but it’s been repotted into dry soil today and also afraid to underwater it!! I did get two corms which I am attempting to propagate so it seems there is some part of the plant that is still healthy and savable?! Also the lamp in the photo is a grow bulb so it should be getting plenty of light. Thanks in advance for help/recommendations!

I thought the Alocasia Zebrina died last year from pests. I had placed it in area near the other ailing plants when it had a couple leaves left. Yesterday, I noticed a new plant growing from the pot which was covered in lightly rooted Callisia Repens ‘Gold Form’ runners! Some soil was removed, probably by squirrels digging for food. Fortunately, they didn’t dig out the last corm. The question is whether to resurrect this from the graveyard list or consider it a new plant. 🤔🤨

My first corm experience! I looked into what I should do, and while I know some people hate the bottle cap method, others swear by it and I didn’t have any sphagnum moss (nor do I really want any due to unethical harvesting). Anyway, I gently peeled the outer brown layer so it looked a cream colour… and now it’s brown again? What’s going on here? Do I peel it again? Any insights would be much appreciated. Thank you! P.S. sorry for the crummy photo quality - though I don’t think there’s anything else you need to see?

Hey babes, so I got this alocasia from the grocer and it was dying so I felt bad, I got it to grow a new leaf and so I cut the old one off now the new one is dying, so idk what I’m doing, it was growing strong and now it’s not.. is it normal for it to do this in the winter? Will it grow back if the leaf dies? I need all the types please😊

does anyone know what’s on my newest leaf of my silver dragon? i want to say it’s a little bit of variegation but i’m not sure. it had a little bit of trouble coming out so there’s a small hole in it and it’s still hardening. i’ve had it for about 2 months now and check it daily, there is no sign of pest damage or pests

My imperial elephant ear ‘black beauty’ is producing it’s second leaf. 😍

I accidentally bought some melos a few months ago and they've been doing well but after their last watering they've continued to get sick. It's been a while. What do you think is wrong with them and can this be salvaged? All help is appreciated
