I was gifted this alocacia black velvet and I repotted it because its soil was very bad and I found 4 corms! There was a few more in there that were very small but the 4 I took fell out of the pot right when I took out all the old soil.
I places the corms in soil and now they are under a grow light with good humidity. Is there anything else I can do to help them grow and is there a timeline of when I can see them sprout? Also this is my first alocacia and im a little worried because they are known to be difficult are there any tips to get them to thrive?
PS: the little green thing I found inside my philodendron split leaf hopes pot and I have no idea what it is. I planted it with my other corms.
Sorry for the long message thanks for help in advance!!!

Achilles - my Zz - was ready for a repot. I almost had to cut off the old pot and there was almost no soil left.

Hi Plant Fam. I have a few plants that are in self watering pots using a wick. Every now and then I notice the soil towards the top dries out. The reservoirs don't dry out. What would make the water randomly stop wicking; or at least from what I can see, stop the top from drying out all of a sudden? Thanks for any tips or suggestions.

Hello there,
Happy Friday everyone.
The leaves of my Pothos plant are 'limpy' and yellowy. Is this overwatering, perhaps?

I post in this group - as opposed to the Lithops Lovers community - every once in a while because everyone including me is terrified of killing these things - because they are known to die after single watering at the wrong time i.e. water your plants before going on a trip. And it's often one and done and the person saying "oh, I just kill them,"
I have a bunch of Lithops - it was over 30, now...14? - and I have watched their mutations here in this Northern Utah life.
Note: I had maybe ten plants (little cactus, a couple Gasteria) in 2022, read about Lithops all year, bought some at Home Depot that October, and then plunged into full succulent obsession while watching these things go from pristine, to wrinkled, to decimated, and then clean itself up by July to maybe spit out a flower.
I have more questions about them than when I started. The rule is keep them dry in winter, water when growing, but maybe not if the flower is blooming etc. I have that kind of down. But this plant's genetics come from a different hemisphere, hence my Winter is their Summer. BUT these are raised from seed in California, and I give them high power grow lights year round.
My opinion after every dollar-sized Lithops split, but multiplied in odd ways is: they're taking care of themselves and adapting beyond general rules lol. It's a half-baked opinion that could be solved with scientific explanation of variables. But that's no fun lol.
This is the same plant. Currently, it is three and a tiny foot. Also, here is who inspired the name (the last member of band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard who name I haven't used as a plant name).

Why does Parker always have brown tips? She’s otherwise very happy and healthy.

Can anyone help me identify this alocasia?

Does anyone else use fertilizer every time they water, just half strength? I've been doing it for a while now and I haven't seen any difference in plant growth, etc.

Thankful I beat the first freeze 🥶 and got Alexia back inside for the winter. I am so in love with her fullness and beauty. She thrived so well on my patio I was able to get 5 different sets of cuttings off to give other people and propagate 3 plants for me 🙂🙂🙂my girl has made me a proud plant mom!!
