Thanks for this video. I just took a plunge and bought an alocasia bambino. If it starts to die off maybe I can harvest a corm or two. Trying to be optimistic but it’s already getting yellow leaves and I’ve only had it a week. So glad to hear you are feeling better. Just stay with the prescriptions and med advice.
I hope your bambino bounces back. Sometimes it gets that way just from acclimating, so I hope that’s the case for you. It’s always great to know you can take a corm as an insurance policy though. 😊🤍🌿
Great video! Thank you so much for the information, super informative! I’ll have to see if I have any in my black velvet and frydek ! I also have anxiety and It can feel very overwhelming and a struggle , you aren’t alone , I can only speak for myself but you have a supporter here all the way in Ontario Canada ! Keep it up , love your videos!
Amanda: Great video as always! 👍 So happy you did one on alocasias. 😊 I had a polly which died. Finally found a frydek which has been on my desk for a few months. Lost 3 leaves. 😥 A new one is sprouting though. I replanted it, but I didn't see corms(thank you for showing this)! If worse comes to worse, I will give it another try. I had similar experience with my colossia, but it has turned around miraculously. In this case, it is probably more of an annual and went into dormancy. I'm glad so far no major medical problems. I had to do some M.R.I.'s and other tests as well. Better safe than sorry. So, I've been through this myself. Never judge yourself by what you believe is other people's standards. That will always cause you self doubt and worry. We think you're cool just the way you are. Aloha.😎
Aw thank you for that! 🥹 yeah alocasias are pretty tough sometimes. I’ve probably killed more Alocasias than any other plant species. But just like you said it’s good to give it another try. 😊🌿
I love liquidirt. But I thought it was a fertilizer. If not what do you use with it? I use it every time I water the plants. If I add a fertilizer do I use that every time too?
It’s actually a “plant food” which is confusing I know. It’s packed with vitamins and good stuff your plants love but they don’t have the NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus & potassium) that your plants need to grow. But it’s great to use with fertilizer
Pointy side up. I mean both ends can have a point, so the end that came off the mother plant put into the propagation substrate. Even if you accidentally put it the wrong way, you’ll still grow roots and can flip it later. I have a some good photos that may help explain better on my website. My corm blog is linked in this video’s description.

Aw thank you so much!! I appreciate that! It’s weirdly fun to dig them up. 😅🤍🌿
Drs are there to help you keep things from getting worse. I’m glad you’re doing better. Keep all your appointments and things will get better ❤️🩹
I really like this video. I only have one teeny little two leaves pink dragon alocasia. But I’ll remember this for when I have to up pot it
Ooh yeah! Those would be fun to watch grow 😊👏🌿🤍
Thanks for the helpful video. Did you do an update on these?
Yup! Here it is 😊 th-cam.com/video/F3bPOZBTLSc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=K2rbWbEP7mPo5zEL

Love your video! Where did you get your glass jar with the round cork?
Thank youuu! I got it at either homegoods or tjmaxx
As long as no people or plants were harmed during the making of this video. Just do you!
Ha *no plants or people were harmed* 😂🌿👏
Do I need to give the corms lots of light or can they stay in the dark?
Where did that support stick with the snaps come from? I need!
I wish I knew...I got them on plants from home depot/lowes. They're apparently orchid supports but I haven't been able to find ones with the clip...
@@BotanicalBrunette Thanks for the reply! My life’s mission now includes finding these! I’ll come back if I do! 🙏🏽💕
Do you think repotting it lower caused problems with the leaves? I know that's a no-no with trees and some plants.
Haven’t had any issues with alocasias in particular, but maybe plants would have a problem if the stems weren’t long.
You can either scrape the brown off the corn or soak it in water and then peel the brown off.
You got it 👍
I got my first Alocasia Frydek and it rotted away within a week. The roots were in a deadplug :(. No corms so I am very sad😢.

So pointy side down?

I've never tried shelling these. I have a small batch I just took off my Pink Dragon last night. So found this just in time to try a new method 😁
Hi. Do you keep it covered? Do they need to breathe at all?
I'm distracted by corms... But none the less the video was very helpful
how about light? window?
Bright/medium light. No direct sunlight.
peanuts is the wrong example.. since its a legume. Walnut or Brazilian nut is a better example.
Haha ok. Thanks for your input
@@BotanicalBrunette sorry didn’t mean to come off rude. Your video helped me thanks!
