Help me pleaseeee!
This is a somewhat follow up post from when my alocasia was suffering a fair amount!! I’ve since separated the two suffering plants and put them in their own containers. I’d heard alocasias love semi hydro so I put 50% lava rock and 50% alocasia soil from Soil Ninja (containing Coco Coir, Vermiculite, Bark, Zeolite, Worm Castings and Biochar).
As you can see, they’re each doing much better, no longer part of the one leaf club and the bigger one has even sprouted a new leaf from a new corm. The issue is, you can see they’re still not 100% happy.
More context: I top up the water as needed, going visually on the water level from the lava rock reservoir. They’re on a north eastern windowsill in the UK. I put them in glass containers so I could actually see the roots this time!
Please help me, I love these plants so much and just want to care for them the way they need to be cared for!
Edited to add: the crispy leaves are the older leaves btw!
