My husband and I are Alocasia collector's and with any plant we immediately quarantine them and spray them down. Love your video and we can't wait to see more. Thanks neighbor 😊
Thank thank thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Your work with plants is stunning and your presence in the ATX plant community is notable; It's such a pleasure to get feedback form you Marie-Louise
This is honestly so informational! I had a beautiful baby odora when I started collecting and not as informed as I am now and she kept getting root rot so frequently after each recovery and unfortunately died:( and I am from Facebook but I love this video!!
Thank you so much for this video! About to share it with my friends. Very helpful and an easy watch. I’ll start adding mosquito bits in my souls now too. ❤️
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for telling me this and sharing! Yes! Mosquito bits are always a good idea. I mentioned that it's preventative but I missed the informational point that mosquito bits are going to make it so their larvae can't metamorphosize into their adult forms and fly around. The pot will eventually stop being a problem for you if you use mosquito bits. Adult fungus gnats will still be adult fungus gnats and are not going to die from the mosquito bits. Sticky traps or those fancy Katchy things are a good idea to catch the adults. If you add mosquito bits to all your pots, the fungus gnats should all be gone in about 2 weeks. (A tablespoon or two per 6" pot is usually what I do)
Omg I didn’t get a costa one this time but I’ve had one before and I killed it so this is super awesome for when I decide to take another whack at it! Thanks!
I just got my hands on a medium sized Alocasia here in Mexico and woke up to one of the leaves being pretty dead. I would love to split the plant, and didn’t know what to do with the dying leaf. Thanks so much for the helpful video.
Ugggghhhh spider mites will be the death of my alocasias. XD Thanks for this informative video, especially bc a lot of people pick up from reputable stores and don’t consider the potential issues!
The only downside for me as a plant collector is the spider mites magnet on Alocasia. So, maybe this is the only plant I would keep as my collection but not buying more than that. Anyways thank u so much for the guides!
They really are just magnets for mites! It doesn't seem to matter how clean I keep the place, with dogs -- I always end up finding some mites around the house every couple months and they're usually hanging out on my alocasias lol

Thank you! I'm happy to hear that I did the right thing from someone who has extensive experience with them.
Cynthia do these plants like a lot of water or dry side
Falling more in love with alocasias every day! Thanks for the helpful info!! Can’t wait to show my mom!
Very informative and underrated video. Thank you!
Thank you good sir.
You always have the best plant content. Thank you!

Wow! So informative and well produced! I love all the shots 😍
Thank you for telling me! I really appreciate the love
From central Texas thanks for the great tips.
Great to find you here! Happy to have been able to share!
Thanks for the pest control tips. I didn’t realize they were so prevalent, yikes! Can’t wait to try your soil mix in my tropicals.
You are so welcome! Careful what you use it on. This mix is great for alocasia, not so much probably for things like pothos or scindapsus!
This video was super helpful! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the info! These are beautiful!!
Thannnnnnk you Erin!!
What a great, informative video!
Ayee Thank you Emily! It was so nice to meet you the other week at the plant swap!
I'm looking forward to many more!!!
So helpful as I am very new to alocasias. Definitely trying pest control solution
Ohhhh goodness. Yes! Try it and I bet it works out great for you.
Very pretty! I didn’t get a chance to get them at lowes
Hopefully they show up again some time! Either that or definitely people will have them all over ATX by next year I'm 100% certain about that :D
Great tips, thank you!

Aww yeah they're so very different from our other plants :) Thanks for the support Arena!
Thank you for this! My black thumb & I need one of these for every type of house plant. Haha.
lol I'll make one for as many rare plant drops as we get :P

Great video! I was sad I wasn't able to get one of these but hopefully I can find someone nice enough to share some in the coming months!
Sorry to hear that. I'm sure the ATX community will have plenty soon after we get passed all this cold weather and back into the growing season :D
I just ordered a baby of this variety Stunning!
wow! I wish I can find that here so far I have no luck to find one here in Vegas
I didn’t get one when they were at Lowes! But it’s on my wish list now! So beautiful!! Thanks for the great video!
You are so welcome! I'll surely have some of those corms grown by next year. Message me on FB if you're still looking for one in about 6 months
Omg I didn’t get a costa one this time but I’ve had one before and I killed it so this is super awesome for when I decide to take another whack at it! Thanks!
what Lowes at some point had these? so sad, wish these came to Dallas :(
They were in pretty much all the Lowe's around Austin 😃
Thanks for the great tips!
You're so welcome ❤️

What is the black mat you are working on? That’s such a great idea to keep things clean! Also, the mosquito bits ♥️
Well done. Lovely video

Woah, this is great!
:D Thank you, Lauren! hahaha great is definitely a description that I'm striving for
I'd like to see how sprout the corms.
Thanks for all the useful tips. I just ordered a corm. Any tips on growing an Alocasia from the beginning?
very informative
Thanks for the video! I bought a tiny baby from someone local, hopefully I can keep it alive!
I hope so too! You've got this!
I leave the full white ones attached to the mother so they can feed off the mother until they start giving more green on their own
This is so helpful, thanks for the video and tips 🙂
You're so welcome! Thank you for the support Sarah!
Great video! What is the name of the alocasia you are repotting? Is that alocasia macrrorhizos variegata? Thanks!
Ugggghhhh spider mites will be the death of my alocasias. XD Thanks for this informative video, especially bc a lot of people pick up from reputable stores and don’t consider the potential issues!
For real, I just assume they come with spider mites nowadays haha
Nice
Thank you for sharing :)//Sogol
Thanks for watching and supporting!
How do you stop the plant from putting out all white leaves?
I just got mine yesterday! hopefully I can keep them alive,lol
What's the substitute for mosquito bits
The only downside for me as a plant collector is the spider mites magnet on Alocasia. So, maybe this is the only plant I would keep as my collection but not buying more than that. Anyways thank u so much for the guides!
Çok güzeller nasıl temin edebilirim Türkiye'de yok bu yaprak fonlusu
nice problem to have!
It's one of the nicer ones for sure. I don't even think I made that joke in this video because this problem is indeed so nice to have hahaha
Why my alocasia macrorhiza variegata leaves become smaller and smaller..?
That makes me feel so much less insane for you to say that Alocasias are spider mite magnets right off the bat. I thought it was just me!
They really are just magnets for mites! It doesn't seem to matter how clean I keep the place, with dogs -- I always end up finding some mites around the house every couple months and they're usually hanging out on my alocasias lol
Q hermosa yo siempre hoy a los ex y no me tocó una también vivo en pflugerville
