I just noticed this nice new leaf today! Alocasia cuprea. It always has only two or three leaves. I bet after this one unrolls an older leaf will fall off. Do you guys experience the two to three leaf only thing with your Alocasias? Not all but several of mine are this way. They grow one and drop one.

Should I repot this baby? I got it new in November and it just grew like crazy, I mean it was small when I got it and maybe 3 leaves. It’s so happy I don’t want to ruin it. It’s came in what I believe is peat moss, which I love. If I do repot, should I use the same? Would it need fertilizer? I don’t want to kill my baby!

Hey guys! New here! Here’s a small portion of my Alocasia collection. Not an aficionado necessarily, but I’d like to be!

My frydek lost most of its leaves during its winter dormancy period sadly but now that she is refreshed and calibrated again… NEW LEAF BABY! it was a surprise to see the tiny spurt the other day but I’m so happy she’s looking healthy so far 🤗 (so excited to see what the variegation looks like too!!)

Massive new leaf rolling out

My Polly has been in Fluval stratum in a non draining vessel for almost a month now, hasn’t dropped any leaves since the transfer from soil… and now she is giving me a new leaf!!! Without dropping any of her current ones!!!! I think I’m in love with Fluval stratum… let’s hope it’s a leaf and not a flower…. This is the first new growth only have had her since Christmas.

Should I prune this large leaf off my elephant ear? I have a new leaf growth and have been trying to get it healthy again.

Dying or going dormant? Two months ago this was a new leaf—the last leaf on my giant taro— but now it is wilting from the tip down. I have him in my quarantine corner at the moment. Edit: it’s been a while since I’ve watered… But the soil is still most in the middle.

Thank you to everyone who convinced me to wait it out bc they said it looked like a leaf & not a bloom. IT IS INDEED A LEAF! 🌱

Hey guys! Any ideas of what’s going on with my Alocasia? Or any advice about this? I found one of his leaves like this recently and he also had a new one that died the other day too. He’s also leaning over to the side a little bit, I wasn’t sure if it was because he’s sick or just leaning towards the light. He uses a grow light instead of natural. But I’m not sure what’s going on or how to fix this.

I thought this was a leaf malformation but it’s actually my first inflorescence 🥹🤧 proud plant mama here 🙋🏼‍♀️ However I noticed two new baby yellow spots today 😩 I’d say probably fungal right, any recommendations to treat it? Or do inflorescence cause damage to the oldest leaf like leaf cycling? I also took it out of its pot and inspected the roots without dislodging all the soil (I don’t want it to do anything while it’s pushing out an inflorescence) and didn’t notice anything worrisome. All of the roots looked healthy. Should I poke around deeper?

HELP!! My black velvet alocasia was doing great and and the past couple days is circling the drain.. she is under a grow light, 70 degrees, 65% humidity, aroid soil… I don’t know where I went wrong but no signs of pests either TIA

Hey everyone! This is my first Alocasia ever so I still don’t know what I’m doing. My question is that my Alocasia’s leaves keep peeling from the stem. Is that normal? When I got her I knew one of her leaves was going to fall but this one is also breaking in a similar fashion. Is there anything I can do? Is there a way for me to stabilize the leaf so it doesn’t break?

Wouldn’t necessarily say I’m an aficionado yet but I am encouraged by this beauty.

She seems to be thriving since I took her out of the nursery soil and put her in only Fluval stratum! Her roots look healthy! This is just a glass bowl from Michael’s, no drainage.. and only fill with distilled water up to the bottom of her roots.

I have a Polly (alocasia) and it’s not the first one i’ve had but it’s not doing super well. (just like the first one) and I’m super worried it’s going to die like the last one. I actually bought planta premium not too long ago thinking it could help me manage this plant better but I still royally suck at it lol. (I’m gonna add pictures of my plants because it’s easier to do that than another paragraph) (i’ve seen a couple posts saying this kind was the easiest to take care of so i’m probably making a bunch of beginner mistakes 😭) I’d love it so much if you guys could help me figure out what’s probably going to kill it. I don’t have enough knowledge about plants in general so if you guys know about books (or anything else) i could get myself for that it be great. i have grow lights but I might return them and get better ones. I’m ready to invest my time in money in this plant because I really love it so I need some advice!

I found a frydek at my local greenhouse! I have a humidifier set to about 60-65% and grow lights set for my other alocasia, anything else I should know for this guy?
