When I started collecting “rare” plants alocasias stood out to me. I got tons of them. Strangely they are my easiest after Hoyas. Doesn’t matter the substrate but what I find is they do better in no drainage for me. Sometimes life gets busy and they suffer but they always bounce back. I love that.
I just watched the video two times in a row to soak up all the information you're giving 🤭 I transitioned my Alocasia to pon about a year ago and they've been doing a lot better with pon, compared to the soil mix they've been in before... but at the moment a lot of them are struggling so maybe I might go back to soil or the soilless mix you're using 🤔 I love my Alocasia so much but they do frustrate me occasionally 🥲 Anyway thanks a lot for the video and all the helpful tips! 🧡
Ofc! I have definetly noticed the more air pockets in the soil really help them root up quicker they like moisture but not an oversaturated amount. Let me know how the transition goes for you!
At around 6:00 corms store energy and nutrients for the alocasia as well as being a seed I have a zebrina that I have never taken any corms from that is huge the other dark petiole zebrina I bought at the same time I took all the corms to prop for friends the normal zebrina leaves are almost 4ft long and the dark petiole zebrina leaves are around a foot and a half
I have an alocasia i bought just a few months ago... getting lots of new leaves but now im getting flowers or what ever thay are.... I didn't know they had flowers... Do i chop them ir leave them ... Thankyou

I’ve heard of the corms being sort of like a hive mind for alocasias this is one reason I try not to pluck corms as much as I can!
