How should I bring my alocasia back from dormancy? I’ve had my Alocasia Bambino for over a year. In August/September last year it lost almost all its leaves. Then as the last one was completely yellowed 2 new leaves sprouted. They lasted until mid December, and fell off when I came back from winter break in mid January. Since January I’ve kept it in the dirt & very little watering. I’ve read they come back in the spring but mine hasn’t. It’s firm and doesn’t feel rotted. I was thinking of putting it in a jar with dirt (added perlite?) to increase the humidity and warmth to wake it up? I’m not experienced with alocasias so anything helps! I don’t even know if this type goes into dormancy lol. I kept it in the planter like in my picture until today.

To anyone with more than 50-60 plants: how do you manage care without feeling overwhelmed? I have chronic illnesses and need to be very mindful of pacing but want to have a house full of plants! I currently have 40ish species but 70ish separate plants (including propagations). I’ve thought of switching some to semi hydro and/or self watering pots. Definitely let me know your tips! Also if you have less plants than that but have hacks/tips feel free to share those too!

Loving the sunflowers this year! Plenty of rain has brought on massive heads! There is a bit of issues with support but bamboo will fix that. The largest is 40inches tall and 20 inches wide. Extremely fast growers. These are Pikes peak mammoths.

I recently just potted newly sprouted Jalapeños and Tomatoes. After a day of not watering they are now flat on the ground. What happened? And how can I “revive” them? Please help!

Hi! Is the browning on the edge of these Hoya leaves normal? My friend thought it could be a bacterial infection but it seems healthy otherwise so wanted a second opinion!

Hi! Today I am repotting my new plant because the pot they gave me is really bad, and the plant is pretty sick. Any recommendations on making sure I repot it safely and properly?

So a couple months ago I got what I thought was a normal tomato plant for my apartment, come to find out it’s a Cherokee purple that can get up to 9 ft tall with vines about the same, any ideas on how to manage that in an apartment?

Most of my plants need well draining soil..In the past I’ve used orchid potting mix (coarse blend) with some sphagnum..What already mixed (well draining) soils do y’all use? Picture of my newer plants! 🪴
