My pink dragon has been in my collection for about two or three years, for so long she was only holding two leaves at a time! She is a trooper for clinging to life as I figured out how to keep plants alive in these last few years. She is a symbol of how far I’ve come!
Help please!! What is the best way to ship alocasia corms? TIA
How does everyone take care of their corms?
This lovely lady, newly sprouted from a corm from my big momma plant. 🩷
Does anyone think the yellowing edges likely due to a nitrogen/fertilizer deficiency? I don’t see any pests or issues.
Hi everyone! My alocasia elephant ear × polly needs urgent help. It's a rescue from a store, and it's had thrips for a good while, until I treated it with diatomaceous earth and neem oil - however, now that I don't see pests on the leaf, I see yellowing and translucent spots. Is it pest damage from before, or do I have to change something in the plant care? It's right next to a window, on a watering schedule and in a pebble water tray. The soil right now is thoroughly wet after a recent watering about 2 days ago (the diatomaceous earth became a sludge and trapped moisture, so I did my best to break it apart and airate the soil.) Let me know what you think, and thank you all in advance!
Variegated dragon scale
Hello Alocasia Admirers! My Alocasia longiloba is looking a little pale, not sure what’s causing it. I haven’t changed anything in his routine since I got him. But a few months ago he was green and now he’s pale, any ideas?
Hi, this is my Melo. I’m not sure what this is. Hopefully it’s a good thing and maybe a flower but if you wouldn’t mind helping me out and telling me what I do with it or not, that would be great. Thank you in advance.
went back for the alocasia I saw at my local plant shop🤍 but what is the white residue on the tops of the leaves? my ficus from the shop has the same situation — almost looks like soap scum?
Regal Shield Repot= Way too many corms 😭😭😭
New alocasia owner here!!! This is my dragons breath that I just got. I also have an azlanii on the way. Any tips are appreciated!!!
Hey! I attempted to propagate corms and seem to be having some success. Would you say it’s time to plant the ones with roots? I’ve got a few 2 inch nursery pots I can put them in. Would that be the right size to start?
My newest cuprea leaf is so beautiful! I love their coloring 😍
Nooooo my variegated frydek keeps making leaves with too much white 😭 (first pic is her older leaves when I first got her)
Hi Planta friends! Any idea what Alocasia this is?? Planta says Dragon Scale (although I know it’s not). It was bought as a Nebula. Thoughts? TIA!
Just repotted this colocasia ‘mojito’ into a self watering pot 💚
Okay …. Can these live? … alocasia frydek she was big and dying I took her apart and she has some propagations that are doing better in pon… the little one came off the big one and I don’t know if she’ll live???? Big one has some issues I didn’t have enough pon to transfer her too so I used leca and she started getting root rot this is what’s left of her … will she live??? I’m currently letting her soak in water with a cap full of hydrogen peroxide.. I saw I can do perlite and they like perlite but she has such little roots left… I did find corms .. please help!!!
cannot stop thinking about this alocasia I saw at a local plant nursery…I almost took her home but felt like she could smell my fear…should I go back and get her this weekend? I have never had an alocasia and they seem difficult!
My black velvet flowered. 😍🤩 I’ve never had an alocasia flower before. It’s so cute!!!
