I learned more about propagating alocasias in the first two-thirds of this video alone than I've learned from the countless other videos I've watched on here. Thanks for being so informative and passionate about your plants.
No one has better propagation outcomes than him. His comfort level and confidence with cutting plants are the best. I just waited patiently for the outcome. I knew it would be great and I was not disappointed.

I am glad I subscribe to you! When spring comes I’m going to check mine. I’ve had it 3 years now and it’s doing well. I paid $1 for it off the clearance rack. It was rotting. I cleaned it and loved it and got rewarded - thank you for sharing this today.
Literally every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something. I thought polly was the common name for the Amizonica; I didn't realize there were 3 different plants. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
My Amazonica gave me bulbs that I propagated in a shallow pont of a taperware . They all sprouted and then I potted them in potting mix and they are just fine! Lots of indirect bright light is the trick for bigger leaves! Thank you Sean for this super informative video!!!🙏🙏
I just purchased 3 plants yesterday. They were on clearance. I moved some of the dirt around and wow there was a corn sitting right there. I love your channel!
A lot of good planting tips. I'll move mine to the backyard patio where it will get more light. Originally I kept it indoor east facing window and it grows fine but slow. Will see whether the new location will make it strive better.
OMG you're a saviour! I was just wondering what to do to my Alocasia portodora because it has grown so much over the years that it's growth point is 20cm over the soil. It's really difficult to find information on what to do when the ...tuber? gets too big for your pots. The answer is right here get to cutting! A wholehearted thank you from Finland
South Africa - I found a Dragon Alocasia - and before I purchased it I investigate the care and propagation - you gave such a good and detailed description. I am going to get one.. Thank you
Great video. Alocasia propagation videos are such a feast. And wow... cutting the bulb of full-growth alocasia, only found in Sean's video. I will never bear to do it.
I love the veining on the bottom of the leaves so much! I just got two baby Bambinos and they are already so dear to me. I think that they're intimidating to purchase because they're so gorgeous
Wow! This is one of the most successful propagation videos you have done I think 😁. I don't own many alocasias (just 2) because they always die on me, or the leaves turn yellow when a new one appears, and I don't enjoy that behavior haha. But after watching this video you have inspired me to give them a second chance :D
I have learned so much from you,im always excited watching your propagating videos coz it always has an update i just love how you reallyake an efforts to make you videos really satisfying ending, im not yet done watching all your videos but i always love to watch your propagation and updates videos
I enjoyed you video so much! Extremely engaging and I feel I am standing right next to you. I followed everything you taught and wow! It’s not stressful at all! Thanks! I am a big fan!
I enjoyed the detailed video on the breeding, care, and sprout growth process of Alocacia Bambino. I also raise a Bambino in a balcony garden and a guppy room at home, but It died grow in the balcony garden a while ago. I think it was because winter in Korea was cold. I think it'll be hard to cover it with Vinyl in the winter. I'll have to wait until the sprouts sprout next spring.
I found an Alocasia Polly for a $1.98. It it’s in good condition, but it was pretty water logged in the soil. So I got rid of the wet soil, in the nursery pot, and put new dry soil. I have it on top of my aquarium close to a window next to my Fiddle Leaf fig. I love the look of these plants. It brings a nice esthetic to the home.
Ive learned a lot from these. I have 2 bambinos and took some corms without pulling out the plant from the pot. What Ive noticed is that they can endure morning direct sunlight but the leaves become slightly whiter (or like foggier looking surface). I kept one under bright indirect sunlight and the leaves retain their glossy green surface
Interesting… perhaps they are slightly bleached or producing less chlorophyll as a result of intense light. But yes they thrive in bit of direct light and will grow twice as fast
Hi Sean, thank you for sharing. Just bought two of this plants today and I potted them up together not knowing the nobby nobby burbs in the soil but I chuck them out.
This is a really great video. i learned so much that i'm very excited to try. It's so great that you wait to show the results. Not many others do that. Thank you.
Thanks for video. I have one Alocasia Polly, loved it, but it started to loose leaves. Didn't know what's wrong I do. I'll try your recommendations, hope I can save them.
I learned so much from this one video!! I see those little balls all through the soil of my plant and didn’t know what they were. Now I’ll go pluck them off. Lol
Thank you for all your videos! I love them! You do such an amazing job. You can tell you love what you do. I always have to repot plants when I get them unfortunately here, they are always so full of gnats from the store.
Sorry Sian,I got mestake in one of your vlog when you introduce Alocasia Bambino, I sent a message to correct you, that it was a polly, Sorry,you are correct,that was really Bambino.
Thanks for doing this video on Alocasia propagation! There's definitely not enough information out there and I'm so worried about making my corms sprout. Nice variegated Musa Ae Ae in the background!
I haven't seen your videos as if late and I'm sorry I haven't because you are such a amazing plant youtuber ... I'm still terrified of my new alocasia Polly that I got about a week ago but so far so good
Learned a lot again from your video today! I loved variegated banana too. Do people grow them outside like normal banana trees and harvest fruit there? Can they have direct sun? I see some people selling seeds and wonder if I should try.
Careful with the seeds… but seedlings that has already shown variegation is alright. They can take some direct light but best to have dappled or filtered effect. Full sun would crisp up its variegated portions
I looooove ur Videos!!!!! Thank u so much and keep in making more 🤍 the fact that ur videos are so authentic and you are so urself in the videos, you get so excited sometimes that u jump from One topic to another 😂 but we love it, we love ur video. And I love that u show all the updates in one video 😊. Also I just got myself the same plant. I had no idea what it was but i had a feeling it would be a great and easy plant so thanks for all the info 😊. Also, my one is going to have it own baby in the same pot so I am very excited 😆. I have a question, do they like their pot to be a bit tight or not they prefer it to be very big ?
Thank you, I interrupt myself sometimes lol, and only notice it during editing. For pot sizes, always go with tight. They actually dont have a lot of roots
Thank you for the informative video. I’m watching on a huge screen and can’t help but wonder what those tiny white bugs are? I see at least 5 of them crawling on the black pot and in the soil…… hope they are not pests!
I didnt notice them haha. But if they are big enough to see with naked, and also moves relatively fast they are probably not spidermites or thrips which are pests.
Hi Sean I’m michelle from Malaysia. Love this video, detailed and easy to follow. Going to do the same with my plant. Hope to get as many babies as yours. Thank you for showing the way to propagate it. I noticed that you didn’t put any soil in the pot before you put the plant in. Is this a better way? Cause I usually see soil in pot, then plant then more soil. Hope to watch more of your videos. Happy planting!
I just bought one yesterday. I can't wait for it to grow. One question, can you plant white hypoestes in the same pot as the alocasia? or will affect the plant.
Hi ! I have a question for those who grow Allocasia Bambino Arrow. I bought one two or three weeks ago, and regarding the biggest leaves, the pointed tips are starting to be slightly yellow/ brown, but overall they're fine ; regarding the smallest and the newest leaves, some of them are fully yellow now, and dying. As it's autumn, I only water it every 12 days, but I don't leave the plant's soil dry ; regarding the light, it's a very bright room, and the Allocasia is near a big window thus there's few direct sunlight in the day. Would you think it's a lack of humidity ? Or too much/not enough watering ? Please help me out on this one, love it to much to let it die :) ps : thank you so much for you video I'll follow your advices !!
Very informative! I was wondering how often you mist/water the pot that has the corms? And should I keep it covered with plastic wrap to increase humidity levels?
That really depends on the media… you want to keep it evenly and lightly moist in an airy substrate preferably. If you tent/wrap/cover it, you will only spray/water it once and then never water it again. Let the ambient humidity do its job 😀
That mother plant....forbidden choi sum hahaha 😂 My local nursery has a few varieties of alocasia....they look very lonely and a bit neglected so I want to rescue them so bad! But this is my first year as a plant parent, so I'll wait until next growing season when I'm more experienced. I live in Texas, so it's dry here, but this summer has been quite humid, so we'll see how it is next year...
I just told my mom to not adopting alocasia anymore this noon because I'm done with the pests lol, but now this video teases me so much lol. Honestly, they're so cute :") Also, I killed 2 alocasia frydeks, I don't think I can deal with the next level one lol.
Frydeks are the most spidermites prone… but knowing this fact makes it a lot easier. Simply spray them down monthly and you wouldnt have to worry about them
Thank you! Always enjoy your video. I bought a "teenager" alocasias bambino. Love it. Now your video is a great motivation for me to try. Just wondering how to tell when I can propagate the bambino... by size of leaves or really need to dig out and check the roots? Thanks!
Ive never used mosquito bits before… Im assuming they are for fungus gnats? Im guessing top soil in that case because they dive in from the top always.
Hi, thanks for your video. I have a alocasia that looks just like yours and when I bought it there was one leaf opening and then it sent out a second leaf, the problem is the two leaves never opened fully at the tip area, it is still dent inward just like your bent leaf on this plant your showing us and it been over 3-4 weeks. I don't know what going on, what do you think? Thank you
Hi I just bought one today can you tell what kind of soil is the how much water they need and do they need a lots of light and what kind of container is the best thanks
Love the way you say hello to all the surprise/baby plants.

And you probably the best at explaining and showing us the methods of plant care I have seen on you tube.
Thank youu
Literally every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something. I thought polly was the common name for the Amizonica; I didn't realize there were 3 different plants. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Yeahhh Amazonica is the largest one
This is probably the healthiest alocasia I have ever seen! Learned so much!
😀😀
Agree that alocasias like more light than most websites say. The baby bambinos are so cute!
I watch so many plant videos but yours are just the best. I love how detailed you are.
Thank you 🥰
I love how you said “hello baby bambino” I would have said the exact same thing. So cute. Awesome video!! I can’t wait to try this.
🙈 hope you have as much success 😀
The bottom of these leaves are just wow. Probably one of my favorite aroids. So adaptable!
Yeah its a surprisingly easy alocasia
My Amazonica gave me bulbs that I propagated in a shallow pont of a taperware . They all sprouted and then I potted them in potting mix and they are just fine! Lots of indirect bright light is the trick for bigger leaves! Thank you Sean for this super informative video!!!🙏🙏
🥰
I just purchased 3 plants yesterday. They were on clearance. I moved some of the dirt around and wow there was a corn sitting right there. I love your channel!
Yaye plant the corm hopefully something will sprout
A lot of good planting tips. I'll move mine to the backyard patio where it will get more light. Originally I kept it indoor east facing window and it grows fine but slow. Will see whether the new location will make it strive better.
Fertilize lightly and treat for spidermites often (they really can set a plant back)
Your potting mixes have made such a difference to my plants!
😀😀 happy to hear!
OMG you're a saviour! I was just wondering what to do to my Alocasia portodora because it has grown so much over the years that it's growth point is 20cm over the soil.

Its a lot of fun propagating and cutting them up. Especially since its almost spring where you are 😀
South Africa - I found a Dragon Alocasia - and before I purchased it I investigate the care and propagation - you gave such a good and detailed description. I am going to get one.. Thank you
Good luck with it 😀 south Africa is so beautiful
Great video. Alocasia propagation videos are such a feast. And wow... cutting the bulb of full-growth alocasia, only found in Sean's video. I will never bear to do it.
I bought Amazonica yesterday and I fell in love with it
😀😀
OMG, I just ordered an amazonica. I didnt realize that it was the king of them. Thanks for the care tips!
Haha yes that is one rewarding plant
Honestly you laughter is the best thing about this video. 😅

This is amazing! I don't think I am brave enough but I am in awe. Thank you so much for all your tips!
Me too
the love you have for your plants is so amazing! very inspirational, thank you for your teachings

I loooove the updates! It's amazing to see the plant grows up!
Haha this is why I love what I do. Seeing them babies sprout and grow.
Wow! This is one of the most successful propagation videos you have done I think 😁. I don't own many alocasias (just 2) because they always die on me, or the leaves turn yellow when a new one appears, and I don't enjoy that behavior haha. But after watching this video you have inspired me to give them a second chance :D
The trick is to have many clumps in one pot so you can enjoy a thicker foliage. But frequent pruning is to be expected 😀
I just bought Mine 5days ago..The leaves tips were browning a sign of stress..iv repotted and hopefuly she cheers up again...such a cuttie
Yaye 😀 they like more light than we think. And balance watering so they are ever so slightly lightly moist. Never water logged or dried completely
@@onlyplants yes indeed..im so watchful for her
Taro is a colocasia, but they're very close to alocasias. I love those baby alocasias you got. Your videos are always so inspiring.
Yeahhh I would love to do colocasia videos soo

Yeahh the propagation is the same 😀
I didn’t know bambino could get this big!
Hehe Ive seen bigger ones too. But the Alocasia amazonica can get human sized.
@@onlyplants Yeah in Asia I wish it got that big in NZ. Definitely Asian countries maybe Australia maybe can reach that size :)
Hi Sean, thank you for sharing. Just bought two of this plants today and I potted them up together not knowing the nobby nobby burbs in the soil but I chuck them out.
Thanks for the info. I have a Bambino and did not know any of this about them. Very helpful.
Theres a lot to them, so much fun to tinker with 😅
Thank you for all of these videos!!! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Thank you ❤️❤️
Woooow. This plant is actually like a bird. Has eggs . Beautifull
I use spagnum moss to propragate alocasia bulb. They grow faster.
I love ur videos. Always so informative. Ur my go to when i need knowledge on a plant. 👏👏👏
Thank you 🥰🥰
This was incredible!

Woooh… maybe consider neem oil soil drench it really deals damage to their population.
Oh 👌 Wow thank you so much for sharing this information about this beautiful 🪴 plant

You answered so many questions that I had!
🥰🥰
I just bought one of these knowing NOTHING about it so I'm glad I watched this video 😂 I'm going corm digging later
Yaye 😀 give it some time if its a young plant. Usually corms appear in abundance when the plant matures more
Sorry Sian,I got mestake in one of your vlog when you introduce Alocasia Bambino, I sent a message to correct you, that it was a polly, Sorry,you are correct,that was really Bambino.

I noticed that you didn’t put any soil in the pot before you put the plant in. Is this a better way? Cause I usually see soil in pot, then plant then more soil.
Hope to watch more of your videos. Happy planting!
I use as little potting mix as possible for the plants 😀

I just bought one yesterday. I can't wait for it to grow. One question, can you plant white hypoestes in the same pot as the alocasia? or will affect the plant.
They have slightly different requirements but surely you can. The hypoestes may be a thirsty plant that draws lots of moisture
Hi ! I have a question for those who grow Allocasia Bambino Arrow. I bought one two or three weeks ago, and regarding the biggest leaves, the pointed tips are starting to be slightly yellow/ brown, but overall they're fine ; regarding the smallest and the newest leaves, some of them are fully yellow now, and dying.
As it's autumn, I only water it every 12 days, but I don't leave the plant's soil dry ; regarding the light, it's a very bright room, and the Allocasia is near a big window thus there's few direct sunlight in the day.
Would you think it's a lack of humidity ? Or too much/not enough watering ?
Please help me out on this one, love it to much to let it die :)
ps : thank you so much for you video I'll follow your advices !!
Hello maybe its better to reach out on instagram @bo.tan.ist with photos. I dont get notified when people have replied to my comment on youtube 😀

I live in Texas, so it's dry here, but this summer has been quite humid, so we'll see how it is next year...
Oh yes alocasias are not for beginners. Start with some easier ones first perhaps. The dragon scale is not so bad.
I just told my mom to not adopting alocasia anymore this noon because I'm done with the pests lol, but now this video teases me so much lol. Honestly, they're so cute :")

You would have to dig them out. But the longer you wait the more corm it will have. Also each old leaf that die will produce a node with growing eye 🥰
@@onlyplants Good tips! Thank you!
Would you recommend repotting in a tropical soil plus perlite mix?
The perlite would help a lot. So yes 😀
Do you think these would do okay in a full sun glasshouse in the UK, perhaps with a small amount of dappled shade?
I think it also depends on the season and the direction its facing… they love partial shade with a bit of direct
Some people say to put mosquito bits into the potting mix. Others say to sprinkle a bit on top of the soil, just on the top. What do you think?
Ive never used mosquito bits before… Im assuming they are for fungus gnats? Im guessing top soil in that case because they dive in from the top always.
Hi, thanks for your video. I have a alocasia that looks just like yours and when I bought it there was one leaf opening and then it sent out a second leaf, the problem is the two leaves never opened fully at the tip area, it is still dent inward just like your bent leaf on this plant your showing us and it been over 3-4 weeks. I don't know what going on, what do you think? Thank you
It could be due to sudden change in environment. Another possibility could be spidermites.
Hi I just bought one today can you tell what kind of soil is the how much water they need and do they need a lots of light and what kind of container is the best thanks
Whoaaa that really depends on too many factors… our environments are very different. Try following the general tips Ive shared
Cool! I’ve never seen a matured one….
