Got all my corms ready to grow. (These are only 1/4 of what I have) In case anyone didn’t know, because I just learned the hard way. Arum and elephant ear corms/bulbs can cause extreme skin irritation. Luckily mine is minor but it’s plant poison and if severe enough needs medical intervention. Alcohol, degreaser soap, or plant poison soap and lots of washing is supposed to help. Hope somebody learns from my mistake. 😭
Here is what’s left of my silver dragon scale . What is the best way to rehab the nub?
Bought it with the leaf yellowing but now I’ve noticed two other leaves following along , any suggestions? . It’s in a self watering pot , soil is moist humidity is at 90%
Is there anyone good at identifying baby/seedling Alocasia ? I know it can be hard because they are so small. I have someone who wants to sell me a few but she doesn’t have an id for them.
Question! :-) I'm New here to Alocasias. Circled in yellow— Are these going to be flowers or leaves. If flowers I need to cut them correct? My goal is to promote leaf growth. Thank you!
Finally finished my new shelves! The bottom shelf has all my alocasias! I can’t imagine what more an alocasia could possibly want, but I’m sure they’ll try to “unalive” themselves anyway :)
My alocasia amazonica has been home in the big box soil for over a month and she never changed. Today I decided to pop her out and take a look. The soil was infected with fungus gnats, the soil was too heavy and it was too much soil. Decided to downsize her pot in better soil and look at all my corms!!! I have moss on the way and I have terrarium cup but would love tips from any one with experience growing from corms! They’re currently soaking so I can remove the husks.
Just picked up my first Alocasia Reginae. All of the ones they had, had these on the stems. What is it?
Does anyone know what are these stems? My plant seems to be healthy it’s been pushing out leaves and no pests. I want to make sure I’m not doing something wrong
This is the center of my red secret Alocasia . It was slimy in the center. I just watered it yesterday. I cut it down as low as I could and squeeze the slimy stuff out.😩🩶🪴
Beautiful variegation on my second Silver Dragon 💚
I took a couple corms from my Silver Dragon Alocasia & they finally gave me their first leaves. Is that sport variegation on this leaf?
Anyone know if this is variegated?! 🧐 It’s a new leaf
I’m not sure if I need to cut this leave off. This is my Jackie, I’ve had her about 3 weeks now and she’s very young. I’m not sure if these marks are debris or something pushing out of her leaves. They appeared to be imbedded two days ago and now they seem to be ”emerging”, (nothing appears to be moving) one of them had either a tail or a dark strand on it and that’s now gone as well. The leave and its stem aren’t as dark as her other one. Cut off or just paranoid?
Why is she sagging like this??? She’s under a grow light 16 hours per day, there’s a humidifier in the room, I water every few days and they’re in Perlite. What am I doing wrong??

I’m so excited! A new leaf on my Alocasia Amazonica 🍃💗 (side note: the yellow spot is a reflection of her grow light, not a bug!)
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
hi im pretty new please help 🥺 why is my black velvet turning yellow(the bigger leaf)? I rarely water it it has a lot of humidity, im thinking it may be a light issue, if so please let me know, i can definitely put grow lights up thank you 🙏🏻☺️
I was gifted this alocasia from a coworker today. She wasn’t sure on the type. Can anyone ID this for me? And provide tips because I am not a pro when it comes to alocasia. Thanks!
