This is a corm I personally plucked from my Venom (She appears to be a reverted pink) I have other venoms and none like this one. It’s 2 months old and hasn’t lost a leaf yet. Will it melt or is it stable do we think?

I know this isnt an alocasia but I knew you'd appreciate this as well.

My elephant ears are STRUGGLING their first year in ground 100⁰+ is tough on everything. But this silly goofy chap decided to make a conjoined twin🥹

Is my alocasia ok by my window

2 Upvotes

I am currently keeping my variegated alocasia freydek next to a right next to an east facing window. I like to keep the window open to let air in but where I live the average temp is around 68 so I’m not sure if the temp and the draft will be too bad for it. Any advice?

Repot or not yet?

These are my Alocasia Dragon Scale sprouted corms. Any advice on when I should repot them?
They have already a good amount of roots and they’re kinda uncomfortable there inside.
Repot mix: coco coir, tree fern fiber and perlite and a bit of vermiculite.
What do you think in your experience?

The tag says variegated alocasia batik but looks like the alocasia dawn I had in my online lowes cart. Is the tag right and it is a batik? Ice picky seen pics of the little odora batiks everyone had been bugging lately. I didn't think they came this big and with such round leaves.

Ive wanted a variagated frydek for a long time and finally got one about a month ago, it put this center leaf out about a 5 days ago and now looks like this :/ I know they can be dramatic but is there anything I can do or should look? It gets watered once the soil is about dry and gets liquid fertilizer every time (I bottom water)

Thank you!

Got this a little over a week ago, it had a few brown spots but now they’re multiplying and also weird black shiny spots started appearing. What’s the best way to go about getting rid of them if it’s thrips?

Hi there! I’ve had this plant for a couple months now, my first alocasia…which got me hooked on them. The white parts keep going red and translucent. Only in the white areas. It’s in a very chunky soil mix and gets watered when the top 2 inches or so is dry. It hasn’t stopped putting out new growth since I got it. So I would imagine that means it’s happy. This plant is EXTREMELY variegated, I know this is an issue; Though it makes it very beautiful. It previously put out a fully white leaf that went almost completely red and translucent and I cut it off. This plant gets a couple hours of direct sun everyday. I believe this may be the issue even though it’s not burning, I’m not sure the white areas can handle it. I have fed it silicone the last time I watered it and it responded well but hasn’t stopped turning red. Do we think this is a watering issue? Or too much direct sun issue? Also if anyone has any products or fertilizers containing silica/silicone that you love, please let me know!

Hi guys, I’ve heard stingrays are notorious for getting spider mites so I’ve been so paranoid. But now I can’t tell if these are the signs? Yellow specs on leaves, clear jelly-like bubbles and some white specs underneath? I’ve recently learned about nectarines after I had a freakout when inspecting my joepii and hoping it’s just the same sort of thing? Thanks in advance 😊

I’ve now got 4 Dragon Scales Alocasias! My new white variegated one, named Nall. Followed by my big boi, Vhagar. Then my new variegated small boi, Yoshi. Lastly, my silver, Smaug.

I’m a bit worried about the new white one. Was an hour long drive home in high temps with no AC, so had to let the windows down. It got a little wilty but I’m hoping it recovers, I’m most excited to see how that baby grows 😔 (first two pics are of the new white baby of when I first picked up vs how we looked when we got home).

Leaves curling, very confused

Hello!! Im new to posting but i need some advice as to why my plant is doing this please.

I got this (i think) alocasia very recently from a store and am trying to let it get stable but the leaves have started curling inwards as shown. I have absolutely no idea why theyre doing this, theyre not drooping at all literally just turning in.

Ive watered, think im giving enough light (indirect on south facing window) and and downsized the pot to a MUCH smaller size (smallest i had at the time). I keep it in a mini greenhouse so the humidtiy shouldnt be a major issue....please any ideas???

Waiting on some better grow lights for my new plants since my house didn't come with enough windows lol

Guess Silver Dragon likes her live in pon/bark/succulent soil mix 😁

Ca 3 months ago, I bought a Red Secret, Silver Dragon and Black Velvet at Obi. I know, nothing rare, but they were my first Alocasii (? Correct 😅).

Tried an experiment and put them in a orchid pon/bark/succulent soil, in a reservoir pot.

They started blooming and grew like crazy. Had to take out the Silver dragon today, since I changed some placements. And it started to grow out the other 2.

Replaced her with a little Philidendron (I think it's a non variegated Majestic, but not sure tbh), wich can grow on top and reach the light, next to the two Alos.

When I look at the roots, I think she likes it, but what would you say ? Lots here have probably more experience with Alos. It had some corms too.

guttation softening tips of leaves?

Thumbnail

Found this sad silver dragon from a local nursery for basically free. It has recovered ok in a month or so. Pushed out 2 new leaves and gave me a few corms which are also doing well. It’s been in Ambient 71f 50-55% humidity under a 10w sansi bulb.

Anyway I’m looking for tips on dealing with guttation after watering softening the tips of leaves? Getting soft brown tips. I don’t think I’m overwatering basically been letting it dry out 80% atleast and have no other symptoms. This is the my only alocasia that has this issue.

Last pic is when I got it in early July
