Just got this variegated Frydek less than a month ago, and the first leaf it gave me is all white with the tiniest speck of green. 😆 To cut or not cut? That is the question.

🌿 Feeling accomplished today! Alocasia and I have always had a complicated relationship — I’ve lost that battle more times than I can count. But THIS is the first one I’ve ever managed to keep alive past the month mark, and I couldn’t be prouder! 🙌🏼 To top it off… I didn’t even know they could flower — and it smells absolutely amazing! ☺️ Proof that persistence (and maybe a little luck) pays off! 🌸 #HappyPlantDad #AlocasiaLove #PlantWin #NewPlantParent #PlantCommunity #GreenThumb

first new leaf on my baby frydek! the other one is shooting out a ghost leaf, but i think that one will have to go, because that stem only has one other itty bitty leaf 🙈

My Black Velvet started to emerge its first flower 🌸 and a new leaf at the same time! (Second photo is from a month ago, but really shows off the rest of the leaves) 🌿

Hi! I got a few small alocasias in February that I’m a little worried about, i originally kept all of them in my indoor greenhouse but it seemed like a few of them didn’t appreciate it (I wasn’t sure if it was the humidity, sun intensity, or my watering schedule) either way I took them out and out them with my main group of plants (I believe the window they are in is east/ southeast) I water them about once a week (I let the water run through the bottom and put them back) and keep my greenhouse pretty humid during the day (I let it air out at night as i haven’t gotten around to ordering any fans for it) but now that they aren’t in there the humidity is definitely less. I have a few older ones that are doing fine in my greenhouse and even one of the baby’s is still in there doing well though so I’m just a little confused. Do you all have any advice for these specific ones as they are doing the worst out of my collection. (Also sorry for the long paragraph I have a hard time deciding what’s important and what’s not lol) Thank you in advance!

Progress Update! :D Months ago I had posted here seeking advice about my alocasia frydek that had started drooping dramatically because I moved it a foot. After a long struggle of it completely dying back, it has been a slow journey growing back, and it's finally back to three leaves lmao (ignore the crispy little calathea, we don't talk about her)

I am so beyond excited that I found this beauty at home depot. I was about to leave and she caught my eye

I have my 1 year old elephant ear, whom I have a love-hate relationship with. I’ve grown her from a bulb and had a maximum of three leaves at a time on her. Right now I’m down to one, the newest, and I just noticed that there is a mushroom that’s sprouted in her pot. The naturalist in me says leave it- let’s see what else happens in this mini ecosystem. But I’m concerned I’d be letting it take nutrients from the plant in such a small setting. Any thoughts?

So I potted my alocasia Amazonia is the wrong soil Friday. Is it too soon to fix it? I don’t want to shock the plant. Someone help!😩

Any tips/ how you would grow this colocasia corm? I’ve tried pon, perlite, soil, sohagnum moss in the past and they’ve always ended up rotting.

Hi all 😊, I hope everyone is having a great day. I was just wondering if anyone knows if this is fungal? I've tried everything else and it doesn't seem to be going away and I've heard that having a yellow outline to it could possibly be fungal. Help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I wouldn’t have thought that alocasia would become my favorite plants yet here we are! My zebrina is my favorite.
