Hiii i got this (originally) gorgeous elephant ear and have had it for about three months now. The leaves however started to droop and get brown spots and yellow. I thought maybe it was overwatering from rain/draft. I’ve recently cut off some of the worser off leaves, and it’s potted with a drainage hole and I recently moved it inside due to cold weather. I’m trying to get it back on track (see one new leaf!) but it’s proving difficult. I’ve been following planta’s care guide and advice. You can see its progression on the tagged plant. Any tips?

Prettiest Alocasia. I am turning on because get ugly and stretch to light too much.

Purchased this Alocasia noblis 3 weeks ago. Watered weekly. It started getting these spots a week ago. I was concerned for fungus so I treated with fertilome. I’ve moved it to a brighter spot. Any suggestions?

My alocasia has been doing amazing since day one. I have been very consistent with watering and lighting. Today I checks and soil is slightly dry (usually I would water but it’s a little cold so I’m waiting). I notice the stems are just a little bit softer, not mushy and no yellow. It seems very healthy. Has lots of consistent new growth. Is there a reason the stems are a little softer? Cold? Repotting?

About a month ago I posted how there was new growth on my Silver Dragon that looked like a possible bloom— well I ended up pinching it off & another one grew😅 I decided to leave this one alone, what do you guys think?

I just purchased these two pretty guys over the weekend… planta informed me that they were too advanced for my current plant mom skill set. 😅 Which I don’t doubt, BUT I am hoping to hear any tips or tricks from my more experienced community members to help keep these babies alive and *hopefully thriving. Literally any information is helpful Thanks in advance!

Black velvet

About two weeks ago I noticed my snake plant had a funny leaf growing, in a week I checked back it it’s a black velvet, which makes sense this was his old pot before he got an upgrade! I need tips to keep this little guy alive. I have a black velvet currently, but she has dropped a lot of leaves and probably my most difficult plant baby. I would love to learn to propagate these babes. Any tips will help!! Thank you 🖤

For those that remember the corms from my Black Stem with sport var.: the babies have some tiny variegation I think!

My Polly is getting yellowish brown spots on it. Dr Planta is saying it’s overwatering, but I don’t think that’s right. I’m not sure what it could be though, can anyone help? Also, the dry brown spots on the leaves were there before I got the plant, I haven’t seen any new spots since getting it. For reference, I’ve had this Alocasia for 2 months now. I repotted it in a chunky soil about a month and a half ago in a clear orchid pot. It has never given me new leaves, but it does look like more roots have grown. The roots are healthy white, no sign of rot at all which is why I’m thinking it’s not overwatering. I also check the soil with a wood skewer to make sure it’s mostly dry before watering. The room it’s in is on average between 65-70 degrees and 45-55% humidity. Within the last couple weeks I have lost 2 leaves but I wasn’t really concerned initially because they were the original small leaves. But now that these yellowish spots are showing up on the newer bigger leaves I am a bit concerned. I have checked this plant for bugs numerous times since I have got it and haven’t seen anything at all. I did treat it in the beginning with captain jacks bug brew a couple times. I know Alocasia are dramatic so I don’t know if this is normal or if I am missing something or doing something wrong.

This is my first Alocasia and I’ve had it for probably about 5 months now. I haven’t had any new growth except for this that started about a week ago. Is this a flower ?? Or new leaf forming ? Regardless I’m excited to see an addition to itself :)

Y’all!! I found a Jacklyn!! At Walmart!! I’m so stoked 😍

I got an alocasia black velvet a couple of weeks ago and I’ve noticed the bottom leaves are starting to go yellow and crisp up at the ends- does anyone know what’s causing it and how to fix it?! Thanks!

I repotted my alocasia dragons scale and polly corms into Lechuza pon today and the roots were gorgeous!!!

Hi I just received this silver dragon in the mail. Its leaves were wet , soil is very moist and it looks like it might have some Oedema. I’m not sure. Any thoughts? Should I rush repotting it?

Please help! Pink Dragon has dropped all outer leaves, which is kinda normal, but now only three remaining are yellowing on the perimeter and are wrinkled. Usually the blistering leaves are a sign of overwatering but the soil hasn’t been overwatered. Also, have noticed strange things coming from the plant at the base. I’d really like not to lose this one so any advice is most appreciated.

Alos only have two moods

I purchased this Variegated Frydek a little over a month ago. I’ve been watering on the schedule suggested by Planta but it has lost its leaves and these two are paling and getting crunchy. Help please!
