Your the best at teaching me how to repot the plant. TBH I grabbed any regular potting mix didnt understand what I was reading and poured it into my Alocasia. Now I know exactly what I need and you showed me exactly how to do it. Your teaching is so good that you didn't cut the video too fast or skip valuable lessons. Knowing how much perlite I needed that bark is okay to be mixed in. Great stuff. I needed this!
Nice idea with the window screen! I use cotton tea bags after I've used them for tea. I just cut each seam open and then I have 2 squares of good cotton that I know filter water well. I have my black velvet living in its original pot and soil in the shower on a ledge. It's right against the privacy window and gets direct sun all day at the moment, but the cloudy/splotchy privacy window filters it a lot. It's winter in Australia right now and mine is growing new leaves, which surprised me. I noticed it started to cannibalise its oldest leaf for nutrients so I gave it some fertiliser despite the season, and then the new leaf started showing itself. I have some leaves that are as big as 3 of my hands stacked up together and the one currently unfurling looks to be even bigger than the last so I'm excited to see it unfurled! It's my favourite plant so I'm scared to repot it but the possibility of corms might be too tempting to refuse any longer. Great video, so much information :)
I have a few questions now I've finished the video if that's alright. Did you originally intend to put the plant in the larger pot you already put soil in and then change your mind later? Was the large pot too big once you saw the bare root size? I'm not sure what determines pot size once all of the roots are exposed like that. As for the dying leaf, I've heard mixed things about cutting them off. I've been leaving mine so it can reabsorb the nutrients from the leaf, but some people say to just cut them off so the plant doesn't spend additional energy trying to keep it alive. Do you have any insight please? Thank you!
Great video. I learned a lot about my new alocasia I inherited. Hate to nitpick but you mentioned perlite being able to hold on to fertilizer; my understanding is that perlite has very poor cation exchange which makes it bad at holding fertilizer and facilitating fertilizer uptake.
My question was answered within the first minute, but imma hangout until the end for more tips! My plant just got spider mites so I it back all the way. I just put it back in the same size pot and hopefully she will come back - the rhizome looked healthy and she gave me lots of corms so one way or another she will come back :P
great info but have you ever witnessed root shock after repoting? My alocasia got shocked whenever i repot them and this make me so stressful lol. I used mixed soil with these material, avoided touching the root as much as possible, followed steps like many youtubers taught,... hmmm are there any tips that i'm missing? I looked on many pages and websites, however i couldnt find the right info i need haha
While Fox Farms Ocean mix has lots of nutrients, it does not contain slow-release fertilizer in it, and Alocasias are known to be heavy feeders so I start fertilizing right away! They thrive off of a regular dose of fertilizer regularly and I have never experienced any fertilizer burn. My Alocasia are all actively growing under sunlight or artificial lights year-round so need the extra micro and macro nutrients! I hope this helps.
Hi there, wow thats so much of information. I got a question. On my black velvet alocasia not big one as yours. It started to showing some thing growing from the middle/center part of the stem, looks like some kinda flower( which is weird) what should i be doing with this?
But the pot remains the same aize. Though the idea of potting deeper is nice but itd needed the pot to be a bigger one. What abt the black larger pot frm ikea ud showed earlier?
Hello! The black larger pot from IKEA ended up to be wayyyy too big for the size of the root ball (which, after taking the mother plant out, revealed itself to be much smaller than anticipated). I edited that part of the video out to keep the video brief but I had to change pots on the fly! Ideally, you don’t want the pot to be more than 1-2 inches wider in diameter than the root ball. Alocasias like to remain relatively root bound or can crash easily in my experience, so you never want to pot in a large pot (like the black IKEA pot which was roughly 3-4 inches wider than the root ball in diameter). Sometimes, you may think you need a repot, but what you really need is a pot- adjustment which was the case here! It needed to be potted lower and adjusted so that the soil level would be a bit higher on the stem. Also, by refreshing the potting mix you are introducing fresh nutrients and microbes. 😊Hope this helps!

Amazing! Also saving this to come back to for transplant time !!
I'm so glad!

Woow.. Huge Orbifolia.
So this potting mix very neutron dense …. How long do you wait to fertilize your plants ? Thanks

How did you get yours to grow. Mi ne keeps dying back
You plants are gorgeous! Can you tell me what is causing a burnt spot that appears on leaf ?
But the pot remains the same aize. Though the idea of potting deeper is nice but itd needed the pot to be a bigger one. What abt the black larger pot frm ikea ud showed earlier?
I was wondering the same.

What soil mix would be your second choice if your allergic to shellfish and can’t use the Fox Farm potting soil mix?
I also like Black Gold or Espoma!
please make a video about the corms
I always drill holes in the bottom of my pots, but I thought the pot you used was a bit big 🤷🏻♀️
I buy the screen at liars or Home Depot. Cheapest way to acquire
Can u use this for pothos?
Orchid bark, perlite and potting mix for pothos
Just priced foxfarm products.. extremely expensive 😮
I’m sorry. I thought I was seeing the chick that plays 101 Dalmatians 😅😅 not in a bad way
Too long. Get the info across quicker than that without all the chatter would be good, thanks though.
Giving birth and sperm and this is supposed to be about a plant.
Hahaha...I already got gross Idea's
