What are you planting “Dick” into. You need appropriate planters for both. Amazon has them. “Male torso planter” and “female torso planter”. Check them out.

SO GORG! i’m so jealous of people who can keep alocasia’s alive, they’re the only plant variety i manage to kill every time i own them 🥲

#### Sam replied on 2025-03-25

this is my first alocasia, my friend has all different kinds so i’m leaning heavily on her advice lol

I just got my first one too any recommendations to keep it living?

Alocasias hate me. So do bonsai (juniper) trees. Its like they know they will die and give up when we meet. Its so sad.
