I put this in the puddle method and it was completely dry when I checked it this morning other than some humidity on the top of the lid. Does it look bad?

Also I peeled the top of it a few days ago and it just looks weird to me.

I saw someone share this idea in a plant Facebook group, and I thought it was too good not to bring here.
One of my favorite things about the plant community is how generous people can be. A cutting, a corm, or a baby plant might not seem like much, but it can absolutely make someone’s day.

So I thought it would be fun to start a Wish & Gift Thread!

🌿 How it works:

Comment your plant wishlist.
Take a look through everyone else’s lists.
If you happen to have something they’re looking for and you’re willing to share, reach out and gift them a cutting, corm, or baby plant.
It doesn’t have to be anything expensive. Most of us are already propagating our plants, and sharing a little piece of one can mean a lot to someone else.

I’ll start, share your location too if you’re comfortable! I’m in Boise, Idaho 📍

🌱 My wishlist:

Alocasia Pink nobilis
Alocasia ninja
Alocasia pink velvet
Alocasia Frydek tattoo
Alocasia tricolor ninja
Alocasia Mickey Mouse
Alocasia scalprum

🌿 Plants I can share:

(almost all are sprouting or close to sprouting their first leaf!)

Alocasia maharani corms
Alocasia pink dragon corms
Alocasia loco corms
Alocasia antoro velvet corms
Alocasia Polly corms
Alocasia odora batik corms

Hi guys! I’m currently mixing my soilless mix I intend to use for aroids / hoyas. It includes:

- coco coir
- coco chips
- vermiculite
- perlite
-charcoal

Based on the video does this consistency seem okay? It does contain slightly more husk than I want but I’ll just pick those pieces out as needed. Do I need more chunks? Do I need more coir? When I squeeze it into a ball it does not clump together easily. I intend on using this in self watering pots in my greenhouse cabinet. Please help a girl out plant experts <333

My Alocasia dropped its newest leaf and the next one is dying too. Pulled it out of the pot and almost all the roots were rotten so I removed them all. The corm itself looks firm, no rot there.

Is there any hope for recovery with basically zero roots left? What’s my best next step (dry out first? fungicide? repot right away?).

Hi everyone, I really need some advice on my Alocasia zebrina. Over the past few weeks I’ve watched my leaves yellow and die off one at a time, starting from the oldest. On top of that, a new leaf emerged about 10 days ago and died before showing any sign of unfurling.

I really don’t know what to do, I always wait for the soil to dry before waterings, the substrate is an aroid mix with perlite, coco coir, bark, potting soil and a little bit of activated charcoal.

Has anyone dealt with a stalled new leaf like this before, or leaves yellowing one after another? Any insight would be really appreciated!

With the newest leaf having so little green, what are the chances it'll survive long enough to produce a new leaf??

so i managed to bend for a few minutes today, ;-p , cleaned up the dead/dried leaves and thought i'd show some pics.

1st pics are the Alocasia "ivory coast". other 2 are some of the floor; black velvet on left, then row of micholitzianas (one of the few things i'm actually proud about, heh. this was, at one time, a multistemmed cluster w/ major root rot from not cleaning off all the mud it had come shpped in), w/ the jacklyn, and poly on the right.

and an azlanii and baginda here/there ;-p

all seem to be improving after doing a fert 'reset' and going for less than 1/2 level dosing. now dosing at 1/2 strength when watering, but breaking every 3rd/4th, w/ no ferts added. (sometimes on the 3rd, sometimes the 4th. no particular reason).

also dosed the regular every 2 months hit of the liquid imidacloprid today. mites seem to have mostly gone for awhile now, after simple spraying of the room on schedule :)

hope you likely.

new bebbe right at its feet :)

took long enough ;-p

Omg! I finally got a pink leaf!! The camera didn’t fully capture the beauty of it! There are purple tones that at first I thought was edema but it’s literally the coloring .. omg! It’s so beautiful

I have had my alocasia for 3 months and spray her every day I am going on vacation for 12 days and I need ideas on how to keep her moist and healthy while I’m away

What does this behavior mean?. Is the light too strong?. I have them under 20w grow light, they in self watering pot

This is my boa which I have had for about three months. It lost its original leaf naturally, and then this last one got attacked by thrips. I had treated it a couple/few times with an alcohol/water/dab of soap solution spray. Now it is shooting up a new stem! Hooray! Been wanting to repot, but think I’ll let it go as it seems healthy and I don’t wanna trip it up.
