Shout out to Plant Pots and What Nots for giving me the courage to try Alocasias. Thank you for all your encouragement and advice.
Preach girl! I found that out over the summer. My frydek had only 2 leaves and I became frustrated and placed it outside on my covered porch with 14 hours of indirect very bright light and it hasn't stop growing yet. Its 10 leaves and counting.
Yesss I love putting my plants outside. The growth is out of this world. I am really glad that it worked for you :):):)
Mine came WITH mealy bugs. Didn’t like the treatment… losing 2 leaves…grew one..smh
I wish I had a porch...no covered patio either.
I like your soft calm voice. Great video as always 🌿🌱 💜
Awww thank you. You are so kind. I am glad you enjoyed it.:):):)
Your black jewel is out of this world!!!! I haven’t seen one with leaves that large either, Girl! That is one happy plants! Love love love it!
"The length of the petiole tells you how much light its receiving/needs" thank you so much for that info!
OMG!! This is an AWESOME video. You're answering so many questions that I've had for weeks in only 1 video. Thanks soooooo much for sharing!! New Subbie!
Yeah I was wanting this video thank you 😌
Great tips and information! I really appreciate it! My two new Alocasia Silver Dragons are really struggling to stay alive and I’m getting so discouraged. I’m trying everything! I’ll definitely use your tips to hopefully revive them!
Your black velvet is amazing! Thanks for the tips
Loved Moms plants ! You have a lot of great info thanks so much!
She has a gorgeous collection. Thank you very much for watching :):):)
Thank you for all the information 🤗
You have such a calming energy. I love alocasias and your videos!
Thank you so much!
Hi.good job! I especially like the description re: unfurling and higher humidity. Have not heard this from any other grower.
I have been having allot of problems and this is a big help
omg this is the first video of yours ive come across and 1) I love your voice it is so peaceful and 2) your skin is glowing!!! all the plants keeping the air fresh!! your alocasia look amazing and have grown so much :)
Awww thank you very much 🙂😊🙂
This video was so great and detailed! 👏🥰 Alocasias are my favorite!
Thank you very much.
Thank you for the plant care tips. Your plants are beautiful and your videos are insightful. Much love and appreciation.
Awww thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching 🙂🙂🙂
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you
Beautiful plants! Thanks for sharing your tips, they are very appreciated by this newby! 🥰
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it :):):) Thank you for watching.
I have a Polly. In March I had 5 leaves and all of a sudden all of the leaves began to droop, yellow, then died. I kept caring for it until April and then sent it outside to play and it began growing back. Its been slow but I now have one leaf, one peaking out, and two more moving up the stems, yay!!! So happy for her. I really didn't want to disturb her. I have awesome indoor light so far she doesn't seem to have missed a beat.
have awesome windows
Wow, my black velvet's leaves are NOWHERE near as large! They also have very long petioles, so I'm sure that a little more light and humidity will help her out. Thank you so much!!
Hello dear watching here your beautiful plants alocasia
I truly love your videos. You have a beauty teaching voice. You are very thorough with your explanations. Awesome!
Awwww thank you :):):) that is very sweet of you to say :):):)
Great video Ayana, I only have two alocasias and still not sure of their care so this helps! 🙂
Thank you :):):) Let me know how it goes. Thank you for watching :):):)
Lisa A. Great video as always beautiful plants . Now that you explained there care so well I am going to try my hand at these plants Thank you for the tips.
Thank you very much. Let me know how it goes :):):)
Thank you for this. It is very helpful.
Thann you. I am glad that it helped :):):)
Great, informative video! Thanks!
Thank you :):):)
Wow I just received 2 of ur featured alocasia plants just yesterday!!!!! Thx a lot for this vid....
Oh wow. I know they will grow well for you. Thank you for watching 😊😊😊
Nice information! I went back and viewed this older video about Alocasias. I agree with you about them not really existing as house plants with moist soil. I had two and lost one to root rot keeping it moist. Now I simply water it and let it dry out and then water again. The remaining plant is thriving with big leaves....:)
Yeah I thought about keeping it moist but that seemed like a sure fire way to kill the plant off lol I am glad yours is growing well now.
Thank you for this video it was very informative. Your Alocasia plants are so beautiful you obviously know what your doing. Now I have the confidence to try growing Alocasia's again!
Eh they throw me for a loop too. I’m definitely no master lol
This is great! I just bought a Frydek yesterday and I also have maharani, black velvet and Ebony. I though that the stems growing longer for these plants were a good thing but I guess not. I just started my plant collection this August so I have a lot to learn. Thanks for the helpful videos.
The elongated stems are not necessarily a good thing unless you like the look of that. But that is your plant telling you that it needs more light. Thank you so much for watching :):):)
omg they're so gorgeouss!!
Thank you :):):)
Wow thank u so much !! So much info.. I'm grateful to u .. 💛 ❤ u use horoculture oil.on regular basis.. yuo speak so kindly, thank u 🙏
Great video Ayana, your Alocasias are beautiful, I ordered my frydek and black velvet from Wellsprings too. Love them! 😍🙌🌱💛
Thank you 🙂🙂🙂 how are yours doing? That really are gorgeous plants.
This was a really good video. I love Alocasia and Always Always Always battle spider mites. Lately, I have been using a systemic pesticide and it's working really well. Thanks for the info. As always, loved seeing your face! 😁
Awww thank you 🙂🙂🙂 I had to switch to a pesticide as well. Some of these pest are on steroids but I finally feel like I’m winning. Awww I miss you 🙂🙂🙂
I had no idea why my plants new leaves were coming out slowly and sometimes a little damaged looking, thank you so much for bringing up humidity can help
Yes humidity can really help to make that a smoother transition. Thank you for watching :):):)
This is perfect timing with this video! I just picked up a Maharani and I'm getting a black velvet next week. So now, I know exactly what to do with them. Thank so much for sharing! 😊🌱💚
Thank you so much Carmen :):):) I hope they grow well for you. Let me know how it goes. Thank you again.
Your plants are beautiful as always thank you good information
Thank you :):):)
Nice collection of Alocasia , they're so pretty
Thank you 🙂🙂🙂
great video
My Polly is doing great! I do see spider mite webs and spray it with Neem Oil occasionally but no signs of damage. Thanks for the tip about increasing humidity. You are the best!
Thank you very much. I actually find that neem oil isn’t very effective for spider mites but you will have to let me know how it goes.
Another informative helpful video. 🙂
Thank you!!! I was hoping that it was coming across well :):):)
Beautiful! 😍
Thank you 😀😀😀
Gorgeous plants. I have 7 of them. Full of spider mites. Never again. I can’t get rid of the plants though. I just keep them separate from the rest of my plants.
Thank you 🙂🙂🙂 you should try the captain jacks dead brew. And also try to increase your humidity to see if that works.
Excellent video, excellent content, beautiful alocasias 🪴🪴🪴
July 2022 just got two Pink Alocasias and one Polly /African mask. The journey begins! Thanks for the great information! 👍🏽 👨🏾🌾🪴 subscribed ✅️
Pink Alocasias or pink Caladiums?
Beautiful Alocasias
Thank you :):):)
Great info my Alocasia's grow well but I never have more than 2-3 leaves at a time & he petioles are SUPER long, I'll be adjusting the lighting & humidity right away...thank you.
Your welcome. I hope that helps. 🙂🙂🙂
This is a beautiful collection. #TFS
Thank you so much. Thank you for watching :):):)
Can you please do a video on your black velvet!? Care tips, watering, lighting etc. I just bought one and I can’t find a lot of info on TH-cam :( btw your black velvet is stunning! Just subbed to your channel :)
Welcome 🙂🙂🙂 My black velvet has the same care as my other alocasia.
@@RootingMindfully wow really? I just lost a black velvet. I'd been told it preferred a nearly shady indoor spot. So I placed mine feet from a north-east window. I should have given it much more light? Smh lol
My alocaisa frydek was great all summer and winter came spider mites came. I think I began overwatering it. I moved it to a smaller pot and divided one into leca. I just got a black velvet. My house is high humidity, I guess I need to give it brighter light
Omg I needed this video. Thank you so much! I have same plants and one leaf comes out and another o e dies on all of them. I use a meter and dont over water.
Can I use fertilizer in the fall and winter? I have them in a south window with a shade. They're about 2' away. Think I should give more sun? I just got a humidifier too so I'm going to turn that on. Again thanks for super information.
If you have the shade on the window and they are 2 feet away, they are probably not getting enough light. Try pulling the shade up, but keep them where they are. And only fertilize when there is active growth.I hope that helps.
Thank you from ablack magic ownr
Does this go dormant. I have both frydek and this one. I don't know what to do with them? Yours r beautiful.
Ive struggled with my black velvet alocasia. I have it under a grow light, have it next to an humidifier and feed it with superthrive each watering but it has only put out two new leaves since I acquired it in May. I have occasionally used a fish emulsion but not often because the smell of the fish emulsion drives my dog nuts 😂
How close is the growlight? I wouldn’t use the super thrive to feed it. Super thrive isn’t a fertilizer. It’s just a vitamin that you would give a plant to make a transition easier or to help it grow roots if your propagating. And yes fish emulsion is a critter attractor lol
@@RootingMindfully Thank you! I did not realize that Superthrive is not fertilizer 👀 I’ll definitely stick to the fish emulsion from now on! I have it just a few inches from my grow lights so it must be that the little guy is simply hungry.
I have an Alocasia Odora Varigated and it really isn't doing too good. It does the get a new leaf, drop the old one thing. It drops the leaf it shot out of. Any pointers? My regular green one is thriving though. My house is not good on light. Should I put the varigated one under my grow lights?
I have my Alocasia Longilobaa outside in the shade here in Florida and i am getting holes in the leaves. What should i do?
Does frydek go dormant. If so how do I do that? Ty.
I bought a Black Velvet Alocasia two days ago. I see they need humidity. Is the bathroom a good place. Thank you.
I love the size of your leaves on the black velvet and maharani, I need to give mine some fish fertilizer, thanks for the tips. I seriously hate thrips, they are the worst pests. Have you found something that actually works for thrips, they seem to always come back for me.
Thank you very much. The fish fertilizer works wonders if you can get past the smell. I hate thrips too and I’m pretty sure mine are under control. I just want to wait a little longer before I make a video to make sure it works.
@@RootingMindfully If you have them under control I hope you make a video on the exact sprays you used. I have used multiple things and they always seem to come back. They seem to really love my Anthurium Clarinervium. No matter what I do with that plant, they always come back.
Would love a update video 🙂
Your voice is so sweet
All of your Alocasias are beautiful i have the polly keep loosing leaves every day all that's left is 2 good leaves 😥
Thank you. The polly is the hardest one to grow. The same happened when my mom tried to care for it.
👍💚
What happens to your plant if the main bulb has been cut off but the rest of the alocasia leaves around if continue to grow?
Do you have an alocasia black velvet?
I used to
Please update
Three Days Ago i Repotted My Alocacia with 3 babies in individual Pots...Till now they are stresed out ,droopy, and very slowly waking up...is this normal?
What did you use to rid thrips?
I am going to do a video on the dreaded thrips lol
Yay!! Cause God knows I need a good informational video about that dreaded subject that NO ONE wants to think or talk about!
My husband just jinxed me today by saying that he hadn’t seen any quarantining plants in awhile. Yep, thrips, and guess what they’re on? My new Black Velvet! 😖😖My first Alocasia. Thrips are the absolute WORST!
Do you alocasia hilo beauty?
The Alocasia black velvet looks more like a ninja
Hi
Hello :):):)
Ok question for all you plant people watching. My Alocasia Polly has brown tips. Experts say it’s to HUMIDITY, but I have 3 humidifiers in a 11x 10 room (office) not sure what I am doing wrong 😑
Its prob not happy with the water? Leave your water out for 24hrs before watering.
@@Jstarzy920 thanks @CharlieJ since I wrote this, I have changed to Distilled Water. Now that it’s winter, it’s dormant so hopefully it will start to grow again. I have three Alocasia now. My Black Velvet Alocasia keeps pushing out new leafs, but my Polly is hanging onto one, and my Bambino has 3 or 4. I must be doing something right 🤷🏽♀️
Lol u got 3 and call it a collection?!
A collection is a group of things or people. So yes that was my group of alocasia at the time. Thanks for watching 😊
