# I just repotted my Alocasia Micholitziana and separated six larger…

_Posted by Plant Dad on 2025-01-19_

I just repotted my Alocasia Micholitziana and separated six larger pups from her. I just wanted to show the size of the corms I found as I've never seen them this big before. Also, if you are in SoCal and would like a corm and/or one of the pups I separated, please reach out. The pups are sitting bare rooted in water until that are claimed or die. Anywhere I can donate them?

wow thats a gorgeous plant.  
do you have a local nursery you could donate them to? i'm probably too far north - i wish i was closer to take a few off your hands.

### Bri commented on 2025-01-20

Same as above wishing I was closer, I’m more NorCal, that baby is pretttyy 🤩

### Kades commented on 2025-01-20

#### Kades replied on 2025-01-20

I’m on some local plant groups on insta and that’s my favorite way to trade etc!

### Tiff commented on 2025-01-20

She's definitely a Beauty. I kinda want to drive from NorCal and grab one. 😳🫣😍

#### Plant Dad replied on 2025-01-20

I'm sure it wouldn't be much to ship you a couple of corms if you'd like?

### Tiff commented on 2025-01-20

BTW... how did you get her to grow so large? She really is stunning.

#### Plant Dad replied on 2025-01-20

Thank you so much. She was doing great when I had her in soil but saw a tremendous difference after switching her to pon. I personally think that the proper lighting is the most important piece though. I give her fertilizer every watering. Regular ambient humidity which drops down to the 20s at times

#### Gena replied on 2025-01-21

What lighting? Full/bright or?

### Gena commented on 2025-01-21

Whattttt are you doing?! I need ALL the tips!

#### Plant Dad replied on 2025-01-26

Sorry for late reply. When I had her in soil, I let her dry out almost completely. Now that she is in pon, I just fill the reservoir when I notice it was empty. She sits a out 5 feet from a South East Facing window. I give her 1/4 teaspoon of Super Thrive any time I add water. She also has a grow light about her.

### Tiff commented on 2025-01-21

Really??? Down to the 20's?? I start to panick when mine drops below 50. 🫣😳🤔🤯

#### Plant Dad replied on 2025-01-26

The only ones that throw a fit for me with lower humidity are my Calatheas and Maranta. My Philodendrons, and Alocasias don't seem to be effected by it.

### Magpie commented on 2025-01-21

What a beauty!

Thank you
