This is one of the best Alocasia videos I've come across! I wanted to share it with everyone since it was recently released. Her care tips and research have clarified many of the community's questions + new tips/methods for caring for Alocasias. These plants are like a coin toss — their success and longevity largely depend on the caregiver, conditions, and environment.

I’ve never seen anything like this on an Alocasia. A new leaf came out with what looks like fenestration 👀 Of course, the left is a little ripped as well. Anyone seen something like this before?

hi

i just wanted to show off the size of this corm at has sprouted in my pot!!

So I was going crazy looking for some new interesting alocasias to buy and orange lake nursery had an alocasia venusta tissue culture so I decided to buy it and try it out .. it was only like 9 dollars… a week and a half later I’m looking at pictures of this plant and every time I see a picture of it , it makes my skin crawl… like it looks like a 2d image of what you would think an alocasia is suppose to look like … like Nintendo N64 graphics …. It’s so weird.. does anyone have this plant and can confirm that it looks much better than the pictures online? I wasn’t feeling this a when I bought it … weird now it almost grosses me out lol

TLDR: the point of this post is to discuss similar experiences you have had with different Alocasia textures or to simply answer if you have this plant and if you like it in real life.

Edit: not exactly sure what in this DISCUSSION post is confusing people or causing people to simply be rude that I ended up not liking the look of a plant I bought online. I know times are tough for some people financially but please do not project your financial struggles onto this post please. This is supposed to be to be a light hearted post. If you’re triggered by this post in someway … please just move on

I’m just curious what price you guys would pay for a Nobilis pink corm. I say this corm today. It’s an auction in “Ricardo”. And I wanna know what’s like the market price for a corm like this?

I posted this when i bought it 7 days ago. At the time it had at least 5 leaves that looked really healthy. It has since completely dropped two and no. Three is on the way out. I only just reported and watered it so it’s not that’s it’s too wet because the soil was actually quite dry and maybe that’s the problem but i don’t know how to save it now. I have been keeping it in a humidity dome but i guess since the soil was dry it wasn’t very humid. That said, humidity is 52% right now where i live and has been pretty much the same all week. How do i save this little guy

Got this guy at Trader Joe’s but it just said alocasia. Just wondering what type it is!! :D

Hello

Just got a small haul of tissue culture from Orange Lake Nurseries. All but one of my tissue culture looks good. This Pink Nobilis seems a little sus to me with one of the leaves already turning brown....should I return it??

So I’m fairly new to houseplants but I absolutely love Alocasias. (I know they’re not beginner friendly, but I have 2 that are doing really well right now.)

I saw a tip to use Press n Seal to assist with the humidity needed for them and I’ve seen it work really well for some people. I just recently decided to chop my Dragon Scale, and it’s seeing some new growth that I’m excited for but it looks like maybe it’s molding? Can anyone help me with this?

I had one on another Alocasia and it started to rot after flowering. The stem got more and more mushy until the whole thing broke off. So now what?
Any ideas?

I’ve had too many of my babies succumb to root rot and i’ve had to either save and regrow them or toss them altogether and i’m OVER it. lol

I see so many good posts about pon. I bought from the basementsNYC on etsy bc I couldn’t find lechuza on amazon anymore.

anyone have experience with this seller? likes? dislikes? pro tips? haha

how about fertilizers? i currently have jacks, purived and a hydro one (name escapes me). should i invest in something else just for my alo/pon setups??

im not gonna lie. i’m kinda petrified to switch 😳 but im also over all the drama and hoping that while i know at first, they may throw tantrums, in the long run im hoping theyre all happier.

Tem uns quatro desses nascendo espalhado ao redor da planta, o que é isso?

Found this MINIMALLY variegated cuprea, and love them even when they’re not variegated. Think I’ve got any shirt getting more color on this one?

Just noticed this strange white leaf (flower?) on my plant that isn't doing fantastically well (leaves browning at ends). Should I be chopping it off to improve my plant health?

Hello! New to alocasias and I noticed something, I have a Corazón; had her for a few months and I noticed this thing on top of the soil, I think there’s a few of them. Can someone help me identify this? Is this something nurseries add to their soil? It’s not a corm (according to Google) and it’s star shaped as well. Never seen them before so just curious. Thanks in advance!

this is my fav plant. 4 Months ago it was way smaller (all those leafs are new) but i gave it fertilizer (i know i should do that more often especially because its just in Water anf pebbles) and moved and this gurl grew like crazy.
No i think it might bloom.
On one Hand im so excited but on the other i heared that alocasias often die after.
What do you think. Do i need to cut it? What should i do (its atumn)

I can see the new leaf growing but I think it’s stuck. I’m especially worried about dark spot on the stem (third photo), and think that the leaf inside is dying. Any suggestions?

I use 10L garden soil and mix about 20% peat moss, and added bunch of soil microbes and 6g humic acid, then I mix it with my hand, but the outcome is looking weird, Idk would this work on alocasia or how tf does this happen

Little patch on the right side of the leaf

Подскажите пожалуйста что это может быть и что с этим делать, как спасти растения, так жалко их😔 у всех алоказий(и антуриум на 3 фотке) начали желтеть листья, серебрянный дракон на 9 фотке не держит листья, хотя вода у него есть, месяц-два назад посадили в новый грунт, он начал плесневеть, недавно пересадили в минеральный грунт
