So my plant self fell about a week ago. It damaged 3 leaves on my pink dragon. I removed the 3 damaged leaves and I have new leaf unfurling… but it appears to be stuck? Is that possible and if so is there anything I should do?

I have some alocasia amazonica corms of several varieties I don’t think are on here however for now I want to ask which out of the ā€œAfrican maskā€ varieties is just the regular alocasia amazonica? I’ve only ever heard it called an African mask and all these fancy names on them confuse me. I know it is not a Polly however it’s the only one using a proper amazonica name.

My favorite local nursery put tropicals on sale at 75% off. So naturally I had to bring this gorgeous lady home. šŸ˜

Got this Alocasia from Costco a few weeks ago. When repotting, I found a small sponge within the soil (also in a few other plants I got). After repotting the plant has continued to decline and I realized all the roots have died. Any advice on how to save?

If you have a Trader Joe’s near you RUN don’t walk. They’ve had a variety of Alocasia’s everyday. The black velvet and Sarian I got for $7.99 with the cute pot and the stingray I found today for $5.99! They are all healthy and thriving. I’m determined to find more varieties there. I also found a beautiful purple tarp elephant ear last week there and it’s doing great!

Just got this Silver dragon Alocasia from Costco I re potted it and it was super root bound but the roots were supper healthy and white. It had all of these corms on it some were already sprouted but i transferred them to sphagnum moss. And the best part is that its blooming!!!

This Alocasia Bisma is likely the easiest Alocasia I have had. It grows much slower than some so stays nice without needing much fussing for longer. Here it is pushing out a flower and a corm, I didn’t see in the last repot, has taken root and is about to push out it’s first leaf.

Hi everyone- Does anyone know what might be the cause for this alocasias yellowing leaves? I’ve heard they yellow as they get older, but I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong. The plant itself is also very droopy :(

Hello everyone! These were given to me today and I’m struggling to identify them so I can learn to care for them! I believe I have the last one narrowed down to a Maxkowskit based off photos but I’m not sure. Any help would be appreciated! I’m excited to learn more about them!

Lucked into finding this Alocasia jacklyn today and I am obsessed already! It’s my very first Alocasia and I know they can be a bit tricky so I’m kinda nervous… any tips or things to look out for?

Look at these little corms just doing their thing! I’m planning to leave them till they are their own little plants before harvesting… is there any reason not to leave them for a while?
