I’ve had 2 last year, both of them did exactly like yours! I just got one today! I do hope it survives,I love them!
Mine has put out some great new growth. But learning curve was intense!! Love them 🪴❤️✨
i love the way mickey mouse on the thumbnail was shocked on the plant
Haha, well the plant is doing a lot better now! Still love my Mickey t-shirt too
i also have that variety alocasia amazonica
I found my 1st Polly at Walmart. I'd never seen an alocasia before and fell in love. She was the only 1 alive. She was in a tall, clear vase with decorative rocks or something and water. She was stunning. So, I eventually put her in a pot with good draining soil, then had to move up a size. Now, she has 1 leaf that the edges are curling up. ! leaf is rather ashey. She's still putting on new leaves, but, I don't know what's going on.
Interesting, pretty sure alocasia need to be root bound…I also have sphagnum moss on top of the soil medium to help with moisture
@@TylerMossop well, I discovered spider mites on her yesterday!!! I got some neem oil and treated her and am working on treating everything.
@@TylerMossop thank you for the info. I got rid of the spider mites. I'll keep her in the same pot and try the sphagnum moss.
@@starblonde0460 no prob.!
@@starblonde0460 do we have an update on her? i'm invested 😆
This is one of my favorite plants, but they seem to be soooo finicky!! You do everything right, and it's still sad, lol!
Yep!!
Hi Tyler, I live in the Caribbean and bought my third Polly only today. This video has thought me a lot. There’s still hope for my first two because I though they were dead. Did your plant make it. thank you for sharing.
Yes! It is doing really well actually - time for a follow up vid!
I've grown both Alocasia and Colocasia outside in the heat and humidity here in southern Louisiana. With enough water and judicious fertilizer, sometimes they get gigantic, with leaves around a yard in diameter! During the wintertime, I just dig up the bulbs, dust them off, and store them for around 3-4 months during the wintertime when we get a lot of wet and cold, however in our weather, it seldom gets into the twenties. If it does for one night, it will rapidly warm up to at least the 40's the next day. If I were to just leave them in the ground I would risk rot. Some people I know do leave them, but I stay on the safe side. For some reason, our banana plants survive the winter just fine and regrow when the weather warms up in March. I've grown the common banana (Musa Paradisica) to heights of around 20 feet with a trunk of around a foot in diameter. Real giants! Then give them a little help with some tropical plant fertilizer and watch 'em go!
Thanks
mine recently lost its last leaf cut it down to soil. roots are healthy will it re grow back seems i can get up to two leaves and then something happens to this one. help!
TY for the info and help!
No prob.!
I also have Alocasia and it never stops growing. I think that's because we are in CA
JEALOUS!! 😢
So even in winter, it doesn’t go dormant? I just bought a polly and I’m worried about that.
@@zzydaza9931 me too
Hi! When you store it in the dark, cool room… do you take the buds out and put in brown paper bag? Or do you just leave the plant as is in the pot and soil? Always wondered this! Thanks
I tend to leave it as is - I put some sphagnum moss on top of the soil as well to help retain some moisture and humidity also -
I'm on my 2and one. I believe I over watered my first one. I'm still hoping the 2and one survives. It still has 2 good leaves. Good luck and thanks for the info.
Jamie -- yeah. I hear you....I'm possibly about to be on a second one (sad face). I love them, and this move has clearly not done any favors for my Alocasia.
Have it in a small pot trust me
Just starting my alocasia journey. They are pain in the a** to take care of
Just wait until dormancy 😏
I have an interstate move coming up and I am TERRIFIED. Can you/ do you have a video with tips?
What a great idea for a video! Moving plants is NOT easy. I still haven't moved the majority of my plants because it's still way too cold out here. Luckily, I had a place with huge south facing windows to store them in the mean time....
I feel your dog
Haha! Thanks 🙏🏽
Your dog😂😂😂❤❤❤
I bought the Alocasia Polly 2 months ago and I guess it went into dormancy immediately and I thought I kill it so my husband was making fun of me and calling me a plant killer. Anyways I had some new growth a week ago. I think its a new leaf. so I'm super excited about that. But I have dead leaf left that I want to cut off, its not crispy and still has fluid in the steam and the leaf. Should I wait untill it gets crispy or cut it off now since I have new growth growing.
Haha congrats! Good thing you let it be. I would say just leave it alone for the time being - eventually it will be more clear as what it living and what has faded.
I'm a plant killer too. Ferns, primarily.
Oh my :( Hopefully it revives itself. I would be crying if that happened to my plants..
Yeah, a sad day indeed...hopefully not a casualty of the big move!!
At least your sweet beautiful pup is helping.
I have an alocasia polly and when i purchased it, it already has 2 leaves and 1 new sprout. But after few days, one leaf started to get yellow and eventually died. The new leaf sprout has already fully unfurled but then the other leaf has already turned yellow. Now that its down to one leaf, and its not showing any new leaf growth, and the remaining leaf is showing signs of withering, I am worried. What can I do?
Flaire, yeah I’m sorry you’re having issues with your Alocasia! As I’ve learned, and shared in the video these plants are very sensitive to humidity, temperature and light (duration) to name a few. The yellowing on the leaves you’re experiencing could be from over watering. It’s hard to know exactly, happy to help more...you could always send me an email (which is on my page) with photos. If you live in the North East like me winter, less light and lower temps can trigger dormancy as well. Hope this is a good start, but need more info if you want to share! Ty
If it grow dormant and loose all leaves, will it grow new shoot next spring?
If it’s still alive, sure!
If the steams are still strong & up right, but the leaves are dried out/ crumbling. Do I still cut at the base?
I’ve always just let them die back on their own. How are the humidity levels?
@@TylerMossop thanks & I'd say humidity is low I've notice my pots are about 3ft away from a heat vent
@@imjy215 start by creating a humid environment - should make all the difference
@@TylerMossop I'll start there, appreciate the time & advice 👍🏽!
@@imjy215 of course! Anytime
I got one of these as a gift. No idea what it was but I ran with it. Each time a new stem grows another dies. This thing is dragging me down 😂
Haha I feel you!
Mine died I don’t know why! So upset! I left roots n dirt in hopes it will grow again 😞
Oh no! Mine finally after over a year put out some new growth!
Never moving again. Poor plant babies! Hope it comes back! 🌱
Yeah me too! Have faith for now...
Told my mom not to buy this plant, but she did it anyway 🙄 It's almost dead now.
Oh no lol!
I’m the dog
Lol
How is it now? I reported mine and it start giving me yellow leaves. Heeeeepppp
Mine has new growth now, after 4 months, so it had clearly gone dormant
Too much light or water maybe?
@@TylerMossop thank you for updating.prior from repotting, mine just unfurl a new big leave and the roots are poking out from the nursery pot.
Then when irepotted it saw some mesh cloth around the roots. But now some leaves just turn yellow. 😔😩 hopefully it bounce back but thank you for the info! More power to you love 🥰🥰🥰
@@ejsantiago2016 good luck - let me know if I can help!
Get a grow light.
It’s under a skylight, but I think this is a great suggestion for folks!!
Those plants are evil! They look gorgeous in the store, you bring it home, repot it and leaves die within days.
LOL! You made my day 🤣🪴😖
@@TylerMossop I speak truth! :0)
I didn't know you were homosexual.
Thanks for letting me know.
Don't ever repot your Amazonica to a bigger pot it will die
Thanks! Mine is still alive, so it was a dormancy thing. But good to know!
