- Is you Alocasia looking a little rougher than you remember? Think your beautiful plant is on its way to its imminent doom? NO WORRIES! I will show you How to put your Alocasias's into Dormancy & save them!
In this video i'm helping out my Alocasia Amazonica as well as my Alocasia Stingray to ensure they make it through the winter!
I will post a video update once I take them out this spring showing how to bring them out of dormancy! Stay tuned!
Follow me on Instagram @Arbour_Bliss_Curls I update it daily & reply to all my messages!
this is SUCH an informative video. I havent seen anything about this topic! ty for sharing!
Thank you so much I really appreciate you! I'm so glad you enjoyed! 💚🌿
Just saw your channel and am really enjoying it! Was looking for tips on my African mask plant that is very "needy ". Have you noticed if your plants are touch sensitive/ don't like to be touched or brushed up against? Definitely haven't seen this topic ANYwhere else, so it was a BONUS. GREAT JOB!
I believe they don’t necessarily enjoy being touched or brushed upon but they do benefit from it. Sort of like the wind if they were outside, it helps them harden off. But anything too harsh can definitely cause some snapping or tearing. What seems to be going on with your African Mask?🌿

Really helpful video. Can you give us an update on how you repotted your alocasias this spring and how they are doing now? Thank you!
Good idea! Coming soon ☺️🌿
This was just what I needed!! Extremely easy to understand & follow!!
Omg I have both of those plants and this video is exactly what I need right now! Thank you!!
I just bought my first Polly! I’m to the moon excited!! Thx for your wonderful, informative video! 🌱☀️👏🏽
Bought an alocasia today and this is the first video I found without a self obsessed girl/woman just talking about herself. Excellent!
This made me giggle a bit! Thank you🌿
Omg you’re so right. Call me sexist but I usually only watch manly tutorials because they get to the point. This was refreshing thanks x
Love this! Thank you so much! 💚☺️
Haha agreed! Even though I feel like I touch my hair a lot too 😭😂
Was watching this video last night at 2... who needs sleep right. This morning I was so excited to find any bulbs in my Polly OMG 14! Can't wait for spring to plant them.
Love your video. So I’m formative and to the point!
Hello thank you for all your information I took my little pups and I planted them and now they are huge thank you I like to see more of your videos
This video was so helpful🙌 also your personality is really fun and engaging, usually get bored watching youtubers but you're so bubbly i love it❤
Aww! Thank you so much I truly appreciate you 💚🌿
Thank you! I just purchased an Amazonica and a Stingray so this video is very helpful! My Stingray is showing signs that it's tired. I'm looking forward to an updated video for spring time :)
Thank you! Unfortunately my sting ray did not make it 😭 I left her outside during heavy rain and the bulbs rotted sadly. However the amazonica is doing great! Update video coming soon! 💚🌿
Great video! Very helpful when trying to figure out what was going on with mine!
Love this video💚😍👏 thank you so much🙏🤗
Thank you so much for this vid!! Just had to let my beautiful Var Frydek "go to sleep" so yo really helped me understand what is going on.
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
Great video! Ty for all the info :)
This is helpful to me because im tired of dealing with the pest issues😅 . So im wanting to try growing them seasonally like i do with my regular type elephant ears. Hopefully that'll help keep my other indoor plants healthy and pest free while still getting to enjoy all these different and beautiful alocasia types.
Thank you so much!! So helpful!! You are adorable too by the way!!
Aweee thank you love!! I'm very glad I could be of help to you! ☺️💚🌿
Great video, thank you 🙏🏼
I'm glad I could help! 💚🌿
So helpful! How do you bring it out of dormancy in the spring time?
My Alocasia is the weirdest plant ever. It took me two years to understand the plant 🙄.
Cool video
So wonderful plant alocasia new friend here stay connected
Always welcoming new friends! Let's talk on Instagram! ☺️🌿
Learning here!! :) thank u!!
Thank you for stopping by! 💚🌿
Why are there any more new videos?! I just found your channel. Love it.
Thanks for this video! Could you make a video on how you take care of your alocasias? I’ve had bad luck with them and would love to know how you kept your alocasia poly alive for two years
In my personal experience it seems most Alocasia enjoy slightly different care. Some don't mind a lot of light while a lot of them need bright light to survive. Some don't mind being overwatered while some like to stay on the drier side. Love them but they take a little bit of figuring out when you get a new one. Hope this helps! 💚🌿
Wow
Penda Khan Thank you! 🌿
This was so helpful! I have two alocasias being attacked by spider mites and I simply dont have time to deal with it so I want to put them into dormancy until spring. I'm in Florida so I didn't think they'd go dormant naturally for a while. Thank you for your video!
Thank you! Spidermite damage can cause dormancy for sure, even in ideal conditions. Dormancy is a quick and easy way to deal with them when the infestation gets serious. Just keep you leaves & stems clean once you bring her back to prevent mites! Im glad I could help💚🌿
I didn't know i could save the pups!!!!! my african mask produced a ton. I kept watering it and trying to save it but after watching ur video i will def put them away.
Jas Vazquez Yes! Save all the Alocasia babies haha 🌿
Great video! Thank you! Subbed :)
Thank you! You are so sweet! Im glad I could help ☺️🌿
Hello! Firstly, thank you SO much for this video. This has helped me a ton already, as I've been struggling to find info on how to store alocasia. I do have one question for you or anyone in the comments. Do I have to put it into dormancy if I have partial artificial light for the plant during the winter? It stays in my bathroom where it's nice, warm and humid, but I do have a light that I can use for mine in the winter. I'm just not sure if I should let it rest or not!
Hello! Thank you so much for the feedback I greatly appreciate it! I will gladly answer your question! As long as you have enough light to provide it should be fine ☺️ However watch out for drafts or cooler temps or low humidity. They need 65-85 degrees to thrive and also a humidity level of 60%-70% which is a bit hard to achieve in the winter without a humidifier. I have also heard of some people using heat mats to provide some heat to the bulbs during winter. The bulbs could start going dormant from cool temps. Hope this helps! 💚🌿
If you have control of your environment, the only thing that really affects this dormancy issue is heat. Especially your minimum night temperatures. They like summertime night temps or warmer, so if you keep their area warm at night they will keep pumping out leaves. And it's a very quick response, so heat tonight means new leaves within a couple weeks. Seasonal changes in light & humidity have little affect on growth
I like your video, what’s up with the calocasia used as outdoor with two big bamboo shrubs to provide shade
Such an informative video. I have 2 polly's and a lauterbachiana, only one of my pollys has leaves left. Is it possible to know if this worked or not? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for posting this. My alocasia, after 2 years, suddenly decided to drope, turn yellow, and lots its leaves. May I know if it is ok to cut the leaf off like you did in the video but to leave it in the same pot with the soil? What kind of soil will you put it in the summer?
I have amazonica n I thought its dead untill it showed a new shoot few days back...it survived under soil with other plants in same pot.
vandana D Wow Thats impressive! Plants can do amazing things sometimes! Im guessing it took a resting period and then came back that is awesome! 🌿
My Alocasia is actually still giving me new leaves I'm guessing because I live in AZ it is confused about what season it is. And so cool to find 5 babies if you don't find a home for them I will take one off your hands lol.
Yes I live in VA so a bit of a colder state! I bet your plants are living they're best lives right now! 🌿
@@DragonBornQueen Yes they are.💚🌿
I just brought home a Stingray a few weeks ago and it is sad and drooping and the leaves are yellowing. I'm not sure if I should put it into dormancy or try to figure out what it likes. It was a grocery store purchase so who knows how it was cared for before coming home with me. Also, I live in Canada and the days are getting shorter, so it might be a good time for dormancy and try again with it in the fall. I also have some Colocasia's outside that I will be bringing the tubers in for the winter and trying to get them going again next spring.
Hope your stingray is doing well today or in dormancy! If its still kicking I would recommend a grow light and perhaps a heating pad if you would really like to keep it going! I also recently brought in all my Colocasias which made my garden look like tropical paradise this year! Hope your plant babies are happy 💚🌿
Hi just watched your video today and I found it that my Alocasia Polly is in dormancy stage since we have now winter here in Germany ,outside getting so much colder..I have a question if its really backs to live when the spring time kicks?or do you have any recommended video thats going to watch regarding my this topic?.thank you so much,:)
wish you had an update on this video!
Hey there thanks for the video. I purchased the one on my right TODAY and it was beautiful. As it was in the car for an hour in direct sun the leaves drooped 😩 I’m sad. I was eyeing this plant down for a while and i finally took it home. Do you know if the leaves will come back or not? I hope so. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Alocasia are shade plants so the direct sunlight + heat could have caused it to go into shock. Check if the soil is dry if so water throughly. If the Soil is moist the plant might need a few days to recoup that is if you still have some leaves and they didn't burn. However if all else fails you can still save the bulb! Hope this helps! 🌿
Arbour Bliss Curls Awwh thank you so much for the response 🙏🏽☺️
Do you throw them away if the bulbs are mushy?
Thanks girl! How are they both doing now? Did they survive dormancy? I’m going to do this once my stingray shows signs but def will be anxious cuz she’s so gorgeous! 😩
They came out of dormancy nice and firm and planted them in the spring. Amazonica is doing great & growing new leaves. However I left my Stingray outside during heavy rain and the bulbs rotted 😭 Hope your plant babies are doing well!💚🌿
Can we force dormancy any time? Or is it best to do this in the colder months? I have a couple of alocasias that are currently struggling and one that I just want to retire for some time.
How long can a tuber be kept in a bag before it is no longer viable?
Is this the same steps for hilo beauty alo?
thank you. i,m moving and thought of plastic. but paper bags are better.
Do you cut off the roots before replanting them after u they come out of dormancy?
Looked like a pretty severe operation! 😰 Can't find a follow up video! Did they revive? Not trying this on my plants until I see evidence they'll come back after a full amputation! They're my babies!!😅
Okay so I have an Amazon account allocation dwarf and I'm not sure what happened I think I might have over watered possibly I have treated with the correct fertilizer and plant food my bulb is very healthy The Roots look amazing but for some reason the leaf has turned yellow in places and I'm trying my best to save it I love this plant if you have any tips please let me know I've seen different TH-cam videos where people are putting in them in just a jar of water but I don't understand how that would work if over watering can kill it if you haven't answer to this please let me know and I greatly appreciate your tips and answers on this video thank you so much and have a blessed day
I am silently crying for the huge Alocasia I threw out a couple of years ago because I thought it was dead :(
I'm so sorry to hear this! 😢 Lets talk on Instagram! I want to send you one of the bulb babies on my Alocasia Odora☺️🌿
@@DragonBornQueen aw, thats so sweet! But I'm okay. I have a lot of Alocasia babies here. So I'm mourning the one I could not save. But I'm happy with the knew knowledge so that I will never repeat that with my current Alocasia family.
👍🌱สวยค่ะ
How do you replant your Alocasia Polly, like from the bulb
Oh god, they gave me this beautiful plant asa gifft this morning. m so worried 😫 I saw some leaves are brown seems like they're eaten don't know how to cure them. Thank you for any suggestions. Greetings from Italy.
Can I just leave them in the pot and wait until spring?
I wish I had known this before I bought my stingray and alocasia polly. I really don't want to have to go thru this every year. Are all alocasia like this? Guess I'll stay away from them now. Sad because they are so cool looking. People who sell these need to inform buyers about this. Too much fussiness for me. Thanks for the heads up.
Is it a requirement to do this? Some of the videos mention just watering less, etc. My mom grows lillies and hydrangeas which are also bulbs that go dormant and she just leaves them in the pot, but fairly dry so the bulbs don't rot.
I didn't see any bulb in mine, only roots.
Great video. When you replant them in the spring, what do you do with all the dry roots?
I'm just guessing now and trying to answer you're question by some logical thinking❣
🐾🎱🪞🌎⏳🙊🙉🙈⌛🌍🪞🎱👣
The dry roots should be dead by then, dried roots die, so my thought is just tugging them off gently or cutting them off with sharp disinfected sheers or something.✂️🪴🗡
I'm no pro at Alocasias, yet.. ♒🔮💜🔮♋
But soon hopefully!¡.. HaHhAhh hahH🤞😜🌱
But this is my guess atleast, it seems logical and like the right thing to do ya know?!¡ 👁
Hope you find your ultimate answers and may your plants be luscious and beautiful!¡🧚♀️🎋🧚🏽♂️
I'll pray for all of nature/plants tonight, send mother nature some lovin' energy.✌🥰🍁
That include your plants as well ofc❣🌹❣
Good luck with them!!¡ ⛲🪞💋🧘♀️💋🪞⛲

@@TheOnlyWarumono thank you for your advice 🙌🏼
@@mogwaii2912 ofc!¡ everyone should get a reply I think!¡ saddened me seeing nobody answering..

@@TheOnlyWarumono facts! Worlds a better place with nice people 😊
@@TheOnlyWarumono You sound like a mediator (INFP) same personality type as me if so and empathy is our gift
First sorry for my englisch... I am german, but I hope you will understand my message and hopfully you can help me. My Alocasias are losing leafs, after your Video I think, I need to put them in dormancy (it's November now ist this okay?). But one of my Alocasia rhizome is looking bad...it doesn't have roots anymore...can I save it? The other one still has roots. So just cut the leafs, put it in paper and store it?
Sounds like your Alocasias might have suffered from root rot. Yes its the perfect time of year to put them into dormancy and I would do it ASAP to prevent the risk of the bulb rotting. Its always worth the try to save them as long as the bulb is not squishy! I recommend leaving the bulbs out to dry for a few days to also prevent rot before you wrap them in paper or a paper bag and put int a dark cool spot then bring back in the spring for better results! Hope this helps! 🌿☺️💚
My alocasia has been the exact same since like august? Maybe even july? It has a little leaf nub and I kept waiting for it to keep growing up and form a leaf but nothing had changed so I’m confused 😖
Alocasias are a bit temperamental. They usually like a very specific environment which requires enough humidity, warmth & light. If any of those three factors might be lacking it could definetley start declining! Do you like to keep your home cooler temperature? Is your humidity low? Or perhaps it just needs a bit more light! Hope this helps! ☺️🌿
When its the right time to plant them if we let the plant go in dormancy on April??
Dimitra Meg I will be making a video on this topic soon! But quick answer is I would let them rest for at least 2-3 months before trying to bring it back. Hope this helps! 🌿
I stumbled upon an African Mask video that touched upon a type of MESH that people are finding on their plants, strangling the plant. Have you heard of this? I went to repot mine after seeing the video and I found the same on mine...... was curious if you’ve heard of this as well?
Pls help, my alocasia leaves is turning yellow and some are dying everytime theres a new sprout. I just repotted tham and i live in a tropical country, i think they are dying pls helpp
I water them once every four days, but I don't think it's overwatering since i make sure the soil is 70% dry before every watering
so i ordered an alocasia amazonica (arriving early november) and so i was wondering if i should put it into dormancy right away or do i just let it have its leaves and be under a grow light this winter until next 2021 winter?
I would wait for its arrival and see what condition is in before making a decision. If it looks like its suffering strongly from shock, dormancy would be a great option! If the plant looks happy I would provide warmth, good amounts of light, and keep away from drafts! Grow lights help and so do heating mats as well! If it starts to deteriorate you always have the option of putting it into dormancy! Hope this helps! 💚🌿
@@DragonBornQueen thank you!
Ooh almost forgot humidity! Alocasias thrive in a humid environment ☺️ hope she is happy and healthy! 🌿
Oh my god I’m a new plant mom and didn’t know they did this and threw one away because I thought I killed it 🥺🥺🥺
What if you live in a state where it never gets cold? How do you know to put it away if seasons don’t vary?
In that case you can worry less! Just put your Alocasias into dormancy when they don't look too happy or whenever you wish to give it a rest so that it will come back bigger & Stronger! ☺️🌿
@@DragonBornQueen thank you for the replace. I have a black velvet I may have to do that with.
My one tip is to be careful not to cut the stems too low or you could be cutting the main growth point so I sometimes cut leaving about 2-3 inches then allowing them to dry before removing the dry stems to assure the growth point does not get cut. Hope that made sense! I have made that mistake before 😭🌿
Im not sure what zone are you but in california, if you plant alocasia, oxalis, caladiums indoor they don't go dormant.
My stingray looks like utter shit right now and I’m hoping it’s just because it didn’t like the AC 😔 hopefully it’s a weird midsummer dormancy?
I hope your stingray is doing better today! If not just rember you can always give it a rest then bring her back to her former beauty! 💚🌿
My alocasia seems to hate his life and its mid August. Can I put him into dormancy early? I repotted him recently because I thought it was the pot that was the problem.. little did I know they like to have small pots 🙃🙄
Yes you can put them into dormancy anytime they need it! Since they are indoor houseplants we are technically fooling them into thinking it's spring/summer in our homes all year long so it will most likely enjoy a dormancy and come back strong! Hope this helps!💚🌿
@@DragonBornQueen thank you!!
Anytime! ☺️
Can you just just trim it and leave it in the pot
I wish I could keep mine, but its very toxic to me, I'm allergic to it 😞
kymistry Awee I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you can find some plants you are not alergic to and can love just as much! 🌿
I’m going to kick myself… I repotted my Stingray and didn’t know, I tossed the corms… I loved my stingray until I separated it, it was big and beautiful- now it’s sad and depressed. But I guess i always have next season- but shoot I paid a pretty penny for it!
Thanks for the information, I will put it to good use.
My dad thought his plant was dying so he cut the whole thing off....lol!!!! 😅
Nooo so sad to hear but now you can show him he is able to keep the bulbs and try again! ☺️🌿
Prone to spider mites? Oh no...and it will go dormant? 🙄 This one I recently purchased may get returned to Costco! What other plants go dormant?
Look at Dormancy as a gift! If the plant looks not too happy, you can always start over by putting it into dormancy! Usually if plants die thats it! But with these guys you get a second chance as long as the bulb is still firm ☺️ Houseplants which go dormant are most commonly Alocasia, tuberous Begonias, Amaryllis, Cyclamen, some Carnivorous plants, Oxalis, Plumeria & Caladium. I might be missing some but most tuberous or bulbous plants go dormant. Hope this helps! 💚🌿
Where are the result?
How can I follow you on imstagram?
Жаль что недоступны субтитры .
Is it okay if we cut the leaves and just leave the plant in the pot until the growing season instead of packing it away? Going to get my first Amazonica and I want to be prepared for the dormancy season ahead of time.
You can wait for the soil to dry then cut the leaves and stems and put it in a dark closet or basement but there is always a small chance the bulb could rot in the soil if there is any moisture so it's just a safer method to dig them out and put them in a dry paper bag. Hope this helps! ☺️🌿
Super helpful. Thank you for replying! Loved your advice and I would have totally thought my plant was a goner in the winter time if it wasn't for you. 🥰
Arbour Bliss Curls and you don’t water the plant pot till spring??
Correct! While the bulb is in dormancy it is not actively growing so it does not require water. Since it is unable to drink it the bulb could actually rot! Hope this helps! ☺️🌿
i had this same question. i had mine in a pot all summer and i want to just leave it there and store it in the garage. i cut all the leaves off; the soil is still moist so i hope it survives! its just hard digging it out lol cuz its huge
oh my god I just realized I threw away my alocasia frydek for no reason…
BUT WHAT IF I LIVE IN TEXAS AND THE WINTER IS SHORT AND THERES ALMOST ALWAYS SUN?!?!?! :((((
If your plant is doing well, there is no need to put into dormancy! However if you Alocasia is not doing well, it doesn’t matter what time of year it is, its always beneficial to put them into dormancy to give them a rest & have them come back stronger! Hope this helps 🌿☺️💚
first
Lmao you guys an the first 😂
Hmmm...I’m gonna have to see an update video. I’m a little suspicious...🤔
I understand your suspicion! I will for sure add an update on my next video. However I can give you an honest update right now! The Alocasia Amazonica is doing great growing new leaves and loving life. However the Sting Ray did not make it but it was human error. In other words I suck because I forgot it outside during a horrible storm that lasted for weeks during the summer and the bulbs rotted! The bulbs were nice and firm when I planted them in the spring but overwatering plus a ceramic pot do not mix! 🌿
@@DragonBornQueen mine ended up dying too from an infection 😦 thanks for the update!
Sorry for your loss 😭 I always say, if you really love the plant, try it up to 3 times before you give up on it! And thank you! ☺️🌿
