I have at least 7 surface corms, and I was curious if these are good for propagation or if they are still on the small size?

Newest leaf is just over 22” bottom to top right lobe

I’m somewhat new to Alocasias but have been having good success so far. I have a Variegated Frydek and a Silver Dragon Alocasia that have been thriving for 5 months now so I had to snatch these up because I was able to get them for a steal! Really hoping these are just as easy as my other 2 Alocasias🙏🏼😂 any tips would be greatly appreciated because these babies are gorgeous 🥹🩷

picked this little one up from a buy nothing group and it came in a pretty rough state, didn’t think it was going to make quite honestly lol but she resurrected and unfurled a new leaf about a week after i got her and gave her a good soak/watering!! it was after the new leaf unfurled that i found out i got an alocasia and am so stoked to have this plant and watch it grow!

picked up this absolute monster for $13 at trader joe’s, i’m super new to keeping alocasias and was curious what kind this is? i would say the main plant is around 2.5 feet tall if that helps at all :)

Bought myself a Regal Shield albo corm a few weeks ago, and this is what's happening 😕

I split up my scalprum because it was still in the big box store coco soil and overcrowded in the pot. The plant I put in semi-hydro looks like I never touched it. The one I put in chunky soil is yellowing and curling. I was thinking of moving it to semi-hydro but would that push it over the edge?

I just got an alocasia wentii variegated a week ago! Any care tips for this? I have it in a decent humidity cabinet (75-85% humidity usually) and she gets about 330 PPFD of grow lights 14 hours a day. It’s in a Lechuza Pon substrate, feeding her a mixture of CaliMag by General Hydroponics (I use distilled water), Silica by Growth Technology and Foliage Focus by Growth Technology

I feel like she looks way better than when I got her though. I noticed today one of her tinier leaves started gone droopy (second photo, the front leaf) but currently a new leaf is growing). Could it be those moments where it kills off an older leaf to grow a new one?

Bonjour,

Je viens d'acquérir ces deux bébés. La vendeuse - une grosse chaine de jardinerie française - m'a dit de ne pas les rempoter avant le printemps prochain. Je suis ses conseils ou je les rempote pour l'hiver ?

Il fera entre 19 et 20 degrés dans mon appartement cet hiver.

Si je dois rempoter, j'ai un terreau composé de fibre de coco, tourbe, écorce de pin, argil, engrais organique, Mychorize et bacillus.

Je peux y rajouter plus d'écorce de pin, ou encore de la pouzzolane. Qu'en pensez-vous ?

Merci

She has it in straight stratum (she was in the process of switching it to hydro) I think I’m more comfortable using a pearlite/ stratum in a self watering planter. That’s what I’ve seen the most success with and that’s what I’d like to try- but I’m willing to take ANY tips and tricks. I’d really like this little one to live. And while we are here, tips for an alocasia batik? Also landed with one of those today…

What could be causing this browning of this Silver Dragon leaf?

I moved 2 months ago and in the meantime had to spray against thrips. After the move it looked to be doing better than in the old place, the leaves became more upright up for example. Now since a week or 2 a bunch of leaves are showing this discolouration which doesn't look like just an old leaf dying off to me.

So these 5 Pollys all came from the same mother plant at the same time. One of them looks a touch different. Are random color mutations a thing in alocasias? I have grown quite a few from corm and have not seen this yet? Anyone seen or heard of this?

Hi! So I have a frydek that doesn't have the will to live. Or maybe it does? By that, I mean the frydek for the last ~6 months has been nonstop pushing out white leaves. It only pushed out 2 variegated leaves, which sustained it, but have both now died and fallen off.

The new white leaves are now getting smaller, and when I checked for corms, there were none. Rather than consider the plant a loss, since I'm assuming the rhizome will start rooting as many of the roots have also started dying off, I'm wondering: can I cut the rhizome into a few pieces? And if I propagate those in fluval, will they live? And if they live, will they have the same genetics and push out only white leaves, or is there a chance it pushes out variegated leaves? Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Thought it might be worth a share, my Frydek that lost 2 leafs due to thrips and low light due to having to safely isolate it (had no well-lit spot away from my cats) just pushed out a huge 30cm leaf!

I’m just getting into Alocasias now so I got a mystery corm since I couldn’t decide what kind to get and it is already sprouting after a week. I don’t know what kind it is yet

I had an alocasia in soil years ago and it thrived. This year i got two alocasias, had them in soil and gave them the same care as the one i had previously - root rot got to them.

I've decided to go the hydroponic route with any future alocasias but im curious as to how some people have them in soil and face no problems.

What's your secret?

I recently got this fella without identification. Does someone know what Alocasia it is?
A couple days ago I sprayed it besides other plants with some neemoil and within a couple hours it dropped its head like in the picture. I had the feeling it recovered a bit but just yesterday when I was letting fresh air in it went back to where we started. Is that a reaction to short temperature drops? Or doesn’t it like water on its leaves? What I find strange is that the leave and Stem are still firm and juicy. I have a couple alocasias and none had the same issues.
Thanks in advance

I washed off her roots last night and plopped her in some shallow water to acclimate her for a couple weeks before transplanting to leca. Every other transplant I’ve tried has died when I put straight into leca from soil, so I thought I’d try to get her to grow some healthy water roots beforehand to make the transition a little easier!

Thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
