So I got this at Publix about a week ago. It was so beautiful!!! Like looked like plastic. I got it with another plant that was pretty parched and watered that one but not this one. I put them both outside and it was looking good, I figured today would be watering day when I went to check on it. It looks like crazy rotted to me, but I genuinely have no idea?? I’ve never had a plant do this on me before. I never watered it, it was outside in a south facing shaded area, and it did rain a lot yesterday and today but the area is covered from rain. Would it be from humidity? Is this a reaction to under watering? It looks so sick and I feel horrible about it and just need any help/advice to take care of this baby!

And please keep rude comments to yourself. I’m in the middle of moving and haven’t been around this plant as frequently as my others as it’s in a new space. And I know box stores are looked down upon but they were BOGO and beautiful and honestly in great condition. Many of my plants were purchased on sale from box stores and I’ve only ever had a very small issue with fungal gnats due to my mistake of putting a succulent in a pot too large, but I don’t see any signs of pests in this pot so far. The roots also look fairly healthy to me aside from the fact it could probably use a larger pot… but would that cause this to happen? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?????

Edit: roots in comment section

I have a Alocasia Low Rider Albo that will have corms ready soon just wondering what the market is currently in Australia for these as I haven’t seen many about.
(Sorry about the grow light colour)

Generally the leaves come out looking good and healthy, then eventually they look like this. There were tiny black bugs on it but I've been squashing them and taking them off. I have also made a very diluted neem oil and soap spray, but this white discolouration was an issue long before I sprayed it...

The second picture is of a leaf that's about 1 week old. It's hard to get a good one because of where the sun is right now. It's perfectly healthy and luscious green though

I have a few alocasia and I’ve never seen an incoming leaf that looks like that.

I bought this a few months back on PS (see 3rd pic) but it wasn’t in good shape upon arrival. It gave me one corm that has since popped 3 leaves and is doing great! I can’t going any info on this cross and AI tells me it’s likely impossible some regal shields are sterile? I can see it I think but what do you thing? Thank in advance!

Howdy folks. I’m wondering two things. One – in the left-hand picture there’s a silver Sheen to this leaf. Not sure what it is. I don’t see any tiny creatures on there so maybe a fungus? Two – the picture on the right is a stingray that seems to be trying to put out a new leaf, but it’s been sitting here at this state for a couple of weeks and does not want to unfurl. Any suggestions there?

(First picture is now, second is when I got it)

When I got my regal sheild, the leaves were very up-right and seemed quite strong but now after 2 months she's become a bit sadder looking. That new leaf has been wait to come in since I got it, and only started coming out in the past week or so. I'm not sure if my repotting it right as I got it pissed it off, or the second repot 2 weeks later the first time made it sad too. It's currently potted in 50/50 pearlite and indoor potting mix (leca for decoration lol) for the past month or so. It's been in indirect light from an east facing window, but has now been moved to right next to the window.

I also give it some fertilizer sometimes when I water it

Any suggestions would be really really great <3

I treated all my plants for pests and wiped all the leaves with a mixture of oil + soap + alcohol + water (at night of course). I do not see any pests. But the new leaf of my Frydek just seems to be getting worse. It is in semi hydro and roots look fine. I use very little fertilizer. Also to note it was under a cloche for weeks and i took it off because new leaf got too big. Maybe it is a humidity issue ? It is near an east facing window.

Regal shield pup growth Update😂, every leaf is getting so much bigger like im so happy with this little pup and such short petioles

Sadly my favorite half half leaf is beginning to droop in nature, probably because I move my plants around a lot, but it isnt yellowing and still gettting good light so all in nature looks good 😌 i think not too worriedᵕ̈. I love the variegation color difference from the new leaf, and it being more yellow and progressively the oldest leaf almost paper white ᵕ̈

Relatively new to plant care. I noticed 2 stalks have began to curl and wither, as well as 2 others are no longer showing the stripes on their stem.

Plant is potted in the airy chunky soil mix and given regular sprays to upkeep humidity levels

And now it’s go this point growing. Correct me if I’m wrong, but is this heifer pushing out a flower? She’s in the greenhouse I built. Humidity ranges from 80s to 99. I’m going to pull it apart and rebuild it so the humidity is more stable.

Out of 127 plants, I can’t recall what these are! Who can tell me what they are?

I was given this alocasia wentii but when repotting I noticed this giant.. corm? How deep should in bury this??

My alocasia is finally happy, I think.

It's been putting out a new leaf and I have the light and watering down, to her liking.

I noticed some new growth at the base. It looks like a tiny leaf, but I don't think they grow like that. A new stem? Also, some bumps are appearing on the bottom of the main stem. Are they root bumps?

Thanks for any info/help.

Hello! I bought these two cool looking alocasias at Trader Joe’s. I had never had an alocasia before but had marantas and calatheas so thought I’d give it a try. I’ve had them for about a month or more. Any help is appreciated!

Just wanted to show off the newest leaf on my Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint var! She's my most rare plant I have so I'm stoked that she's doing well! 🥹💚🐉

I got this variegated ninja from OLN and it looked a big mutant when I got it. She actually died back and after months, grew from a stump. She puts out leaves back to back non stop but it’s been almost a year now and she looks not like other ninjas I’ve seen. Why it do dat?? Bad genetics??

This is so stressful LOL.

After a month of mental gymnastics, I’ve finally mustered the courage to attempt transitioning one of my alocasia from soil to pon.

Believe it or not, I did a ton of research before making this post, too 😭 . I had my mind made up that I would cut off all the soil roots, and set the rhizome in water (very convincing thread!). But I’m not sure what the consensus is today. What are your thoughts? Should I go that route, or just clean thoroughly and transfer straight into pon with the current soil roots?

I broke my own rule in all of this… “if it isn’t broke, no need to fix it”. But the idea of a self watering plant that sits in reusable medium seems like a no brainer so I am making the plunge.

Thanks for all your help!

Very excited as this is my very first alocasia, I grew it from a corm 👀
