It didn’t look like this when I bought it, I’m wondering what to do because some of the leaves are discolored. I haven’t watered it since I bought it, because the soil seems so still be moist towards the bottom. I took it out of the window and put it on a stand by the back sliding door, on the same side of the house where it was sitting in the window. It’s at the top of the stand where the grow lights aren’t at.
I got this Frydek early this year, but it struggled and was close to death after a few months. Then I decided to try growing her in moss, with a water reservoir in the bottom of the vase.
Best decision of my life! She has exploded, with all plants growing new leaves up to twice a month! Really recommend this method.
I do love them but if feels like my sanity would do better if I down size at least some of them…but they grow so beautifully 💚
I've had different Alocasias for years now but this is the first time that an Alocasia is blooming. Love it and I thought I'd share it as blooming Alocasias are quite rare.
It’s a shame I did NOT stick to my promise of no more plants 😄 hello alo #4
I got this Alocasia Frydek for free at a plant market today. It was grown in Fluval, in a self watering pot. I was scanning it for damage/pests when I got home when I saw this crawly on it.
Is this a pest Or an advantageous bug?
If it is a pest, how can I treat it/ should I be worried for this plant already?
I love my new purchase! I've been looking for one of these guys for a little while!
I have this dragon scale in a terrarium so it stays humid. It’s thriving on here but beginning to outgrow the enclosure. Looking for a similar terrarium but larger. Any advice and or suggestions? Thanks.
hi everyone! i just got an alocasia venom yesterday at a plant show :) i was so excited because ive been wanting one and finally decided to do it. but now the leaf is melting away, it was firm when i got it and last night it was a bit softer. today after work i looked at it and the leaf is even softer and sad. anyone have any clue as to why? i’m wondering if the soil was too moist and its a bit overwatered? i took it out of its soil and the roots look great, even has a new baby corm growing in. i’ve since repotted it into dry chunky soil because its original mix was not great. i’d appreciate any tips/advice i can get!! i don’t have a lot of alocasia but the ones i have have never given me a problem like this!
Die Frage der Fragen, was meint ihr ist das, eine Alocasia oder ein Syngonium?
Und wenn ja die 'Macrorrihza Splash' oder die 'Batik Variegata'?
Ich tendiere ja zu ersterem aber gekauft habe ich sie als ein syngonium.
This is an alocasia silver dragon rhizome that shed all of its roots and and leafs I put it in a fluval perlite mix but then it got moldy and I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide and put it in water. After one week it got huge and cracked then I removed it from the water and let it dry for 24 hours now the situation is what you see in the second picture. Do you think it’s salvageable what do I need to do have you experienced same problem?
My first alocasia, does it mean anything when they form drops on their leaves?
Thanks!
Located next to and under a grow light. Total PPFD is around 200. Humidity is stable around 60%
I try watering once a week when the soil is mostly dry.
I have had the plant for over a month. Now I see all the leaves yellowing. I don't think it's winter dormancy or I'm assuming it isn't.
So I'm trying to figure out what it could be?
Underwatering, low humidity, pests?
Thank you for the help.
Hi guys it’s been a week since I’ve moved my Alocasias to pon. I have a frydek variegated and a pink black velvet.
I seperated a pup, a sprout and a corm from the mother frydek and moved her aswell as the pups from a nursery soil into pon. I hadn’t filled the waterreservoir for the mother plant but flushed it with water every two days. Today I did fill the reservoir to see how that would go since she didn’t show any bad signs, but instead folded out a new leaf and created a new growth point.
I did already fill all of the reservoirs for the pups and black velvet because they are in the akerbar greenhouse and the high humidity made the transit easier on them. And I will say they are ABSOLUTELY thriving. The black velvet is giving my it’s first leaf made in my place and it’s proving to be a big leaf since its growth is so thick. I am super excited for how it will look.
The frydek sprout is also breaking its first leaf through the layer and the pup has made a new growth point.
I’ll show you guys some photos but I am proud to say that my first time moving plants to pon went REALLY well.
I still have about 10 more that need to make their way over. I can’t wait for it to look full. I need to get some staggered height going to fit them all but they make me happy. I’ve gone off of the deep end.
What is this coming out from the center of my plant? A flower or new leaf?
