About Alocasia Reginae Silver
Alocasias, commonly known as Elephant Ears, are some of the most common houseplants although their leaves can reach enormous sizes when grown outdoors! š They typically only support a few leaves at a time (more, when they get more sun!) so don't be concerned if you see an old leaf begin to retire after a new one emerges. They grow out of underground corms which are similar to bulbs, so next time you repot keep an eye out for baby Alocasias! They contain calcium oxalate crystals so be sure to keep them out of reach if you have children or pets! ā ļø

Experimented on semi-hydro recently! I revived some bugs-infested plants and I'm so thankful. #semihydroponics #alocasiaaddicts #alocasiareginae #alocasiajacklyn

Bought an #AlocasiaReginae a few weeks ago and fell in love with its texture and look right away. Got lucky with this one as the kind seller upgraded my cutting to this mature one when I was checking out! #alocasiaaddicts #freshleaffriday #happyplants

What are these? The Internet says corms, but they're not under the soil and coming directly from the original stem. They look interesting!

I got what I think is either a silver dragon or dragon scale alocasia and I believe itās VERIGATED Iām so excited!! I had to repot her a few hours after I got her cause I noticed bug eggs EVERYWHERE in the soil and Iām glad I did because the pot was too large and some roots were rotting so fingers crossed all goes well *found at walmart*

IM A ALOCASIA DADDY! So this is my story. I went back to my happy place perch plants, originally to buy a anthurium clavernarium. BUT IT WAS 44 DOLLARS FOR A SMALL ONE! And their plants are a STEAL. For example, I could buy a FULL GROWN ficus for 45 dollars there. Thereās the anthurium idea down the drain. So I was looking around for the plant of my dreams, not a peperomia, not getting another philodendron, (at least for another month I canāt resist!) And then I hit alocasias. I promised myself āLuke, (thatās my name) NO ALOCASIASā so I was like fine. But then a saw it. A beautiful Alocasia silver dragon. For 16 dollars! What a deal! And then I remembered what I said about alocasiasā¦. Ehh skrew that ur coming home with me! So I wiped down the leaves, and checked for pests, (which there are none!) and placed it on my bookshelf. Btw itās next to the window! So, how to care for my first alocasia? I really donāt know šš any suggestions or advice that would be good to know for Sammy? PS, I know they go dormant in winter #Alocasia #AlocasiaSilverDragon #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #plantparent #PlantAddict
