I would love some care tips on my plant!

I’m not a plant mom, I just received this dragon alocasia scale plant as a gift and it’s dying on me now and I have NO clue what to do… please help! I had this since feb so about 9months now, and before I was so sure it was going to die so I barely cared. But it somehow lived, and even thrived.. it had many leaves, but after I moved and repotted to a bigger pot, the nightmare began. It was growing large so I wanted to give it a big home. I repotted to a smart watering pot that had a string in the bottom that lets it self water etc… and since then it dropped so many leaves, now I only have 1 healthy one with 1 dead one and 1 new leaf. I watered it a bit often cuz I freaked out, but I stopped. A couple days ago I completely took the plant out, dug out all the roots and trimmed all rotten mushy ones (also learned about corms!). But now it’s looking all curled and crispy, but the inside of the soil is still very wet. What is wrong with this guy?! ++I used multipurpose soil with highest rating from Amazon, has tree barks/pearlites(?) etc. No pests were detected and I added a mini humidifier to make it a bit more pleasant for this plant..

Hey I’m new to taking care of this kind of Alocasia, any tips on how to not kill it? 😅 and plant care tips? Thank you!

My alocasia shelf in my greenhouse, plus my philodendron glorious. I went from having zero to 12 of these in a matter of months. They’re so amazing to watch grow! Not pictured are my cupreas, zebrina, and black stem.

Why is her leaf looking like this?

HELP! My silver dragon has inflorescences and I’m not sure what to do. I tried looking up different videos on pollination but they all are on different Alocasia and the inflorescence look different. This is the only Alocasia I have. Should I try to save the pollen and freeze it until I have another Alocasia. Or can I pollinate the same plant? It also looks like there is a second one about to be exposed right under the one already bloomed.

I can’t seem to have any luck with my Alocasia Dragons😩 I got the Silver Dragon a few weeks ago and it’s been a constant struggle to keep him alive. Repotted after received but he completely drooped and I moved it to water then fluval. I just got the Dragon Scale a few days ago, repotted straight to fluval to keep in the mini greenhouse and already has yellowing leaves🥹 Could it be transplant shock? Dying soil roots until water roots grow? Do these Alocasias not like to be in fluval? Planning to eventually keep them in semi-hydro hence the repot. I’m keeping them in a mini greenhouse with other baby plants and make sure they have air and run a humidifier too, but repotted everything as I don’t have any plants in normal potting mix. I might be paranoid but I can see a slight yellowing leaf on the Alocasia Micholitziana Frydek in the greenhouse too😭 I thought the Maranta Makoyana will give me headaches🤦‍♀️ #newplantparent

My A. lauterbachiana has been droopy lately. At first I thought it was because it couldn’t support the weight of the leaves, but I’m not sure. What do you guys think?

Why is she bleeding 😭😭😭 I’m not concerned about the leaf dying off lmao all the other leaves are chilling and it just made a new one so I figure it’s just part of the plant’s life cycle, BUT WHAT IS THAT??? I’ve never seen a plant bleed like that. Maybe I’m crazy

Is this corm a goner? It got stuck in the mail and arrived cold. It’s not mushy, but… 😬 It don’t look good

I am considering a potting medium change for my two alocasias. My soil is currently mixed with orchid bark and perlite but I’m thinking it’s still not chunky enough and holds a bit too much water. My ninja is looking a little depressed which is why I am thinking about this, though it may still be acclimating. Anyone have any recommendations? I am contemplating leca but feel like I see mixed things on it. Or would just adding more bark/perlite be the easier answer?

Just got one of my wishlist plants! Variegated Alocasia Frydek! It’s in a humidity dome for now to help it acclimate and isolate it. Hope it stays happy! 😃

Has anyone bought these clear acrylic window shelves from Amazon? I’m interested to know if they are sturdy.

can someone tell me why my adult alocasia is growing two baby leafs that aren’t even unfurling? I’m aware I have a baby plant growing on the left, but I’m not sure why the leaves on the adult plant aren’t full size? thanks! :)

SHES FINALLY HAPPY AGAIN, I repotted her on Monday as she was getting hydrophobic and everything. (picture 2 is when I had repot) She was just looking sad so I repot her into a wider container I had (1-2 inches wider) and BOOM come today she’s exploded!!

I wanted to show off this bad girl Evangeline.

My alocasia cuprea is gifting me with a bloom! I rescued this one from a grocery store, along with another that only lives on through a corm, and I’m so happy to see it thriving! I know many people recommend cutting the blooms off but I have plans for this one! I’ll be saving the pollen to use if my black velvet ever blooms to hopefully create a hybrid!

Time for me to dig up my Cannias and elephant, ear bulbs for the winter. I was alway all summer doing hip replacements so I didn’t get to keep up with them. But the bulbs got to recharge their batteries why I was away.
