I’m so jealous. I’ve had exactly one Alocasia and I killed it. I’m scared to try again.

I definitely killed the first one I had too! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I realized it wasn’t enough light. They definitely love the indirect (or grow) light! 🫶🏻

I stopped using Planta but now that I have like a million plants I decided to try it again and I came across this comment… I actually have this plant now and she’s doing great! I’m not as scared of Alocasia anymore. 😂

What do you have her potted in??? SHES BEAUTIFUL 🤌🏽🩷

#### Ash 💕🌿🌸 antwoordde op 2025-07-20

I’ve just kept her in the original drainage pot from when I bought her! 🤗 Then I just used the nicer pot to cover it! 😂 I find when I repot them, they don’t like it - so I try to keep them in their originals as long as I can! 🫶🏻

Okay so she’s just in good ole soil right? I had convinced myself that if I get an Alocasia I’d have to start dabbling in hydroponics and I don’t know that I’m ready for that! It’s very encouraging to see yours doing so well! Do you plan on experimenting with different growing mediums? It all seems kind of daunting to me lol

#### Ash 💕🌿🌸 antwoordde op 2025-07-23

For the soil, she’s just in regular potting mix to my knowledge! Hydrophonics seems advanced! 😅 I don’t think I am there either! 😂 I haven’t went too far out of the norm for growing mediums just yet. I am still figuring out where certain plants will do best in the house. Since my house is a bit darker (lots of trees shade my home). I have got some grow lights though, and they have been really helping with growth! 🤌🏼😍🤗
