    Totally pop them corms off! I have an alocasia zebrina and it was shit in soil. Could never get out of the 3 leaf club. It didnt do well in leca either, always had rotting roots. NOW i have it in DIY PON in glass no drainage. I now have 4 leaves. Yaaaaay!!!! I also rooted a corm in the summer...still tryin to get out of the 1 leaf club with that one. 🤣

    😳🤗 that is truly a beautiful plant 🌱 I hope it does well for you and I hope the other one bounds back and is successful as well.
    You may want to invest in a collapsing plant mat . It might be easier than using a bucket.

    Have you considered testing the pH of your tap water? Tap water can be pretty alkaline and once it's treated, plants respond very well by improved uptake of nutrients

    • @aprilbrooks

    you could wait for the corms to have like a longer stem to break off or for them to fall off on their own whenever you repot. They start to grow away from the mother corm. I try to remove corms when they have a root of their own. I've noticed the corms I've taken off that didn't have much of a stem growing away from the mother corm don't survive 😔

    I purchased one of those in a starter because of your vid I watched last year. That plant is so fickle LOL. I had it in a wonderful aroid mix and I just moved it to pon to see if it will do better. It is a beauty. One question! Do you get corms for Alocasias in PON? I know in a mix they produce like crazy.

    • @aprilbrooks
      @aprilbrooks  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes I have a giant alocasia Jacklyn who has given me lots of corms 🌱 actually working with them in my next video!

      @@aprilbrooks Nice! I would love to have some extra corms from this plant. Your vid convinced me to purchase one, but it was a starter. Though it has not done well in a yummy aroid mix, maybe PON will do it better. I should have tried Fluval Stratum but I didn't think of it.

    can you please post an update? did she liked pon? Alocasia Jacklyn has been on top of my wishlist too and I recieved mine today. it's smaller than yours and I'm hesitant to move it to pon or lecca or soil. my Alocasia Azlanii loves semi hydro but my Silver Dragon seemed to hate it and preferred aroid mix. I don't know if Jacklyn transitions well to pon

    I thought pon need to be in a pot with drainage holes? Unlike LECA, you use it basically the same as potting mix? Though I'm sure there are different methods.

    Alocasias make me crazy.....bought 5, lost 4....now have one in my bathroom that is semi-existing. So scared to put it to LECA. $44.00 for a plant....you are very confident!! Alocasias....better in LECA? or PON?

    • @aprilbrooks
