Thanks for sharing the tips about pest prevention and how you rinse the rinse the plant. Will definitely use this as I just bought an alocacia and hope not to have a bug problem!
What about some brown fringes on a leaf? What are those about? Succulents were so easy to live with. This Alocasia is kicking my but, but I am in love with it so I must spoil it.
Thank you for the video! I will be getting my first alocasia pretty soon. I was wondering how far down you place your moisture meter, for the 3 reading? Thanks!
This is a really good guide. Thank you for the upload. I’ve noticed you haven’t uploaded for quite some time. Don’t give up!!! Come back and keep uploading.
best alocasia vid out there! I'm not sure what type of alocasia I have (it's leaves are maroon color and some are green), but I've had it for like almost 2 wks and the leaves are crunchy and drooping, most of them are turning green and some have yellowing. HELP!
So how long does it take for a silver dragon leaf to unfurl? It’s been about 2 weeks and no progress not sure if it’s normal or not. Also I have a dying leaf on my dragon scale and where on the stem can I cut it off?
my jewel alocasia have taken 2 months to fully produce a leaf from start to finish, so it should be doing just fine! they do get a bit more thirsty when producing new leaves, so if it’s stopped growing it might need a drink 🌿
I have two Alocasis. The first one I bought had huge leaves. When I put it into a bigger pot the leaves stared to die. Not sure why but after watching your video I hope some of your tips work. My other alocasia just started loosing leaves buy I just notes two new leaves coming up.
I have an alocasia polly i got it 5 months back and it just unfurl a new leaf. However after a week some of the small leaves started to droop. Heeeeeelp.
This video is very helpful, are usually just give my baby water from my fish tank or purified water from water bottles the little ones leave around the house. I absolutely never use tapwater for any of my plants, but especially not her also for humidity I just have her place right next to my diffuser with no oil and it works so great to keep the humidity of my window sell around 60% to 70%
Dispite the two rude jerks in the comments below ... You explained everything crystal clear about this topic. You did a wonderful job on this video! I for one, am very, very proud of you! 🤗
it's so hard to stay focused whilst listening to you. You speak so slow, take waaay too long pauses between EVERY word and this *smack* noise every other sentence is gross. idk.. just makes me aggressive
First of all you are so cute.also very knowledgeable. I was hoping to find out what your thoughts were on these plants going into dormancy. Your Alocasias are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Ok one more thing, how do you use your mosquitto bits without them molding? I was mixing them in my aeroid mixes and finding that regardless if mixed in or on top, they ALWAYS molded.
The problem I am having with my alocasias are the fact that they push out so much growth on long stems that the entire plant droops because of the weight. How do I prevent this?
@@marymiller5824 I cut the leaf off and let the bottom stay so the new leaf can unfurl. Unless the leaves are coming from the most outer part, I don't cut it down to the base. I do this just in case there will be a baby leaf forming which typically happens in the most inner leaves.
no offense but you need to spice up your videos, move around, show other plants as you talk about them, unless that is all you have that's shown in the video... you are knowledgeable about Alocasia, but your presentation puts your audience to sleep ... to say that it's mundane and colorless would be an understatement.. I'm sure you can do better :)

This was so helpful and you've made me less scared of my Alocasia!! Thanks!
wow. lovely plant❤👍
I use boiled water for watering my plants would this be a great idea for my alocasia?
You have beautiful alocasias; great job!
Any tips on how to treat and prevent fungal infection on the leaves?
Found this video just because of my obsession with all things alocasia and was pleasantly surprised that we have the exact same grow lights 😂😂
Arent they great for the price? I use them for my jewel alocasias
Nicely Alocasia💚☘️🌱 New friend here🌿
Thank you for this Lauren! Your Tito Glenn will no longer kill his Alocacia Zebrina by overwatering. We bought all the tools now! Haha!
Pretty sure I over watered my alocasia Mayan 😭
i 've just bought a dragon scale and you helped me a lot! cheers from Italy!
Yay I’m so glad I was able to help 💚
How long do you keep your humidifier running throughout the day? I love alocasias and I want to keep mine happy!
just found this video and it was so helpful! I'm new to alocasia and they make me a bit 😬 but this video gave me more confidence!
How do you deal with dormancy?
You are very thorough. Excellent
What an interesting the way you explain about caring the Alocasia plants , thank you very much and see you later .
My Alocasia Jacklyn, Frydek and Melo will thank you :)
Best vid for alocasia! Mine has yellow and brown tips and some leaves turn yellow. Why is that?
Thanks for yur time and all the information 😀 👍 great to know...

Alocasia. The smartest plants around. Fact.
You can get a cheap humidifier at the store for probably under $20. I know Vicks makes one for cheap, the vapo-rub company
Thank you for the video! I will be getting my first alocasia pretty soon. I was wondering how far down you place your moisture meter, for the 3 reading? Thanks!
all the way down to the bottom. After using: clean the two sticks with water and dry them
@@hugohuysmans9666 thank you so much!
@@coryk1970 better late than never ;-)
Thank you so much I just bought a pink dragon Acacia and this will help so much
I use rain water or water from my fish pond
This is a really good guide. Thank you for the upload. I’ve noticed you haven’t uploaded for quite some time. Don’t give up!!! Come back and keep uploading.
Thank you for the informative video! I wish I would have found you before I killed my Alocasia purple sword plant.
Is it okay to underwater these beauties?
Thanks to you for the info, all the way from Jamaica & this is my all time favourite plants of all my plants & I do have lots , they are so elegant 😍
Hi Pamela…we share an interest…but I’m new to Alocasia…what varieties do you have? I’m hunting for babies🤣🇯🇲
I am a new alocasia mom. The plant was gifted to me and had no care instructions. Your Care guide was a great help. Thanks
Spider mites hate high humidity. Since you indicated your target humidity is 65%, you shouldn't see any spider mites.
Im assuming well water is fine, correct? Not completely sure because of all the harsh minerals...thoughts??
Hi girl I'm watching ur video and I love ur plant's 💗
Very detailed thanks so much
Thank for the beautiful video, and i just got my frist Alocasia dragon scale and it help me a lot with your information.
Great video. Well presented.
Omg gal. Distilled water …. Why not just collect rain water 💦 😅

Mine was growing nicely an suddenly stated dying 😞
The tips of my Frydek are always! always! yellow until the leaf is completely yellow :(
I have killed so many seems like my humidity is the problem
What about boiled water???
I melt snow (rainwater) for my plants, so ill see how that goes :D
Excellent wealth of information. Thank you!

Do you wipe the neem spray off the leafs ? Or leave it?
Thanks good tips just got an Alocasia but still trying to determine its tropical/scientific name😎👍🏼. If I can keep it alive maybe I’ll get more.
do you mix the mosquito bits throughout the soil or do you just top dress? And how much do you use?
How do you propagate them? I want alocasia babies!!
Do u let your frydek dry out between waterings
Wow what an awesome and informative video . Thank you so much. Well done!
thank you so much!!
Amazing and fasanating channel
I have an alocasia polly i got it 5 months back and it just unfurl a new leaf. However after a week some of the small leaves started to droop. Heeeeeelp.
usually that is because when a new leaf unfurls then the bottom ones die.. Lots of other TH-camrs say the same thing
thank you so much for this info! Would you say mixing the neem oil in with the waterings works as well?
Hello, how do you clean the leaves on alocasia?

You are a good presenter . Well done
Yooo!
Thank You Much Ma'am! 😊
Best video 🌱🪴
May I ask where do you get your plants from?
Great video
Dispite the two rude jerks in the comments below ... You explained everything crystal clear about this topic. You did a wonderful job on this video! I for one, am very, very proud of you! 🤗
I collect rain water
Thank you! My baby green velvet ist dying.. yellow leafes. So about time to change my watering procedures.
Is it ok to get the neem oil spray on the velvety leaves like on the black velvet?
mine was doing fine after spraying them. BUT I wiped it still a lil.
it's so hard to stay focused whilst listening to you. You speak so slow, take waaay too long pauses between EVERY word and this *smack* noise every other sentence is gross. idk.. just makes me aggressive
First of all, you are so
First of all you are so cute.also very knowledgeable.

Great information! Thank you for sharing! Very helpful and much appreciated. Have a Blessed day!
Thanks so much for the tips! Just got my first Alocasia plant today.
That plastic bag method is awesome!!! :) thank you for that!!! I don't know why i didn't know of that..
When your Alocasia old leaf dies do you cut it off or let it fall by it’s self?
I cut if off!
Thank you a lot ....❤
Excellent Video 😊😊
Great job 👍🏼
The problem I am having with my alocasias are the fact that they push out so much growth on long stems that the entire plant droops because of the weight. How do I prevent this?
what happened with mine, it was doing so well in summer but in winter it died, the stem went mushy and and leaves yellow I watered in the same way
Is mountain valley spring water good ? It’s not tap, but it’s not distilled or filtered either
Thank you this was very helpful I appreciate all these tips and plant care❤❤❤❤❤
They are my favorite plants, too!
How often do you wash the leaves and spray them with the oil?
I personally do once a month for preventative maintenance!
Very good information. Thanks
Beautiful plants with interesting tips more power
❤❤❤
❤
What about boiled water? from the stove top.
comprehensive information thank you
1. Can you use a stick to check moisture instead?
2. Can you use your fridge filter for water?
Yes and yes. I use a chopstick and I use my Britta filter
I have never heard the word moist spoken so many times in a sentence. NGL made me laugh haha
When leaves yellow do you cut the whole leaf and stem off?
Yes! I cut as close to the base of the plant as possible
I have a yellow leaf on my Sword, but there looks and feels as if there was a leaf that was going to unfurl.... do I still cut down to the base?
@@marymiller5824 I cut the leaf off and let the bottom stay so the new leaf can unfurl. Unless the leaves are coming from the most outer part, I don't cut it down to the base. I do this just in case there will be a baby leaf forming which typically happens in the most inner leaves.
Neem oil is so smelly
Don't all plants get rain water in nature?
My thoughts exactly. Also putting more plastic into the environment for the sake of home bound indoor plants? Ummm nah.
no offense but you need to spice up your videos, move around, show other plants as you talk about them, unless that is all you have that's shown in the video... you are knowledgeable about Alocasia, but your presentation puts your audience to sleep ... to say that it's mundane and colorless would be an understatement..
